Are you semi-comatose most of the time?


Hoyer Is Proof of Earmarks' Endurance - washingtonpost.com


Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) Earmarks Requested - LegiStorm


Note on the second link there are three aimed at PAX.

I can help you with the big words if necessary.

None of those things needed Steny's help.

Wrong Grasshopper. If Steny's name hadn't been on them they wouldn't have seen the light of day. You asked for Pax pork, you got Pax pork. Whether you like it or not that's what it is.

I deal with a lot of budget. Not once has Steny's name ever been mentioned. The Navy can get money without him.

Maybe not, keep thinking that, but the perception is that Steny gets the money. If he's not that important see if Dutch Ruppersberger will sponsor the next round of earmarks, or Roscoe Bartlett. If that happens it will be a long, cold, hungry winter on the Patuxent.

The reality is that Pax has been under the microscope since the '70's. The Admirals keep it there because it's close to DC and the influence of the Air Force ebbs and flows and the Navy brass can take some Congressmen down when the heat is on.
