Bringing Home the Bacon
While the national press is lambasting earmarks that Congress is attaching to the budget bill like the $1.8 million to research how to deal with odors emanating from pig manure, it turns out that Howard County will also be the recipient of some Congressional earmark largess.
According to this story by Paul West from the front page of The Sun today, Representative Elijah Cummings has attached an earmark of $475,000 to the spending bill for Howard County to purchase hybrid electric buses.
