Was the Hal Rogers Family Entertainment Center necessary in Williamsburg? Was it pork? Doesn't that depend on whether or not you and your family swim there? "Pork" is something some other Congressman gets to spend in his district, which then he or she can turnaround and use in a campaign to show "how much I care about and get done for my constituency." We're all self-centered and territorial.

I believe in increase spending for recreational and educational facilities. The arguement can be made that it helps to combat drugs in this area. It also increases the economy. However I do believe we need to streamline our projects during the current economy. Lets create economic opportunity not worry about campaigns. Hal's work with the Federal BOP is also pet projects. However he uses it to increase high paying jobs in our area. We are not all self-centered. Some of us believe in selfless service.
