ommunity Enhancement Grants Controversy: This year, state legislators set aside $20 million dollars for a program that supporters called “Community Enhancement Grants”, but critics termed “pork barrel spending”. So far, only $2 million has been awarded, but some legislators are reportedly upset because they’re afraid some of their pet projects won’t get funded. Our state capitol correspondent, Joe White came in to the studio to discuss the controversy with WPLN’s Morning Edition Host, Jacqueline Fellows. (10/25/07)

I think our local ham radio club filled out the application correctly but now we are probably getting turned down because we are "NOT a PET project."

This is not direct represenatation!

WTF!
