Senate M...From today's Politico website:<br /><br />Quote<br />Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Sunday he's willing to consider a Senate-wide ban on earmarks, but he said it wouldn't save money.<br /><br />Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," he said a ban would simply shift the authority for spending money to the administration, and many members of the Senate aren't willing to do that.<br /><br />"I'd be willing to consider it," McConnell said of the ban. "The problem is, it doesn’t save money. It’s an argument about discretion."<br />Unquote<br /><br />It sounds like Mitch McConnell will not consider eliminating earmarks anytime soon. Some things never change even for Republicans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083623354243842400.post-63583276453162367862010-11-05T13:55:27.088-04:002010-11-05T13:55:27.088-04:00Fiebig won every precinct in WH, except the apts w...Fiebig won every precinct in WH, except the apts which vote heavily D anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083623354243842400.post-87226806713783664062010-11-04T21:23:09.209-04:002010-11-04T21:23:09.209-04:00Pork (from Washington or Columbus) is intoxicating...Pork (from Washington or Columbus) is intoxicating to elected representatives of both parties at all levels of government.

Forget Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell and Caroly Fiorina. The Tea Party movement elected historic numbers to state houses nationwide, including Ohio. The Tea Party movement elected scores for the 60+ historic win in the US House. <br /><br />The local 9/12 Project or Tea Party Patriots need to get involved. They will not only take care of the Lake County RINOs, but Lorraine Fende. <br /><br />Unless Bob Aufuldish retires as county commissioner state Senate is Fende's only play.<br />I suspect it will be Matt Dolan versus Lorraine Fende for the Senate seat. May the good people of Geauga County kick end Fende's career for good.<br /><br />One last point, we obviously can't rely on The News-Herald to do any real reporting on this sorry excuse for a state legislator. And it's amazing how the NH, which has multiple editors who are not fans of Lorraine Fende, jumped on her bandwagon this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
