Knowing who brings home the pork, I'd bet it's the trail system up in WVa.

Not trying to imply their rep gets it done, but.
I'm just saying.

No republicans voted for this. $600 million for the digital TV switch.....At least Obama got them to drop the $200 million to resod the National Mall in DC off of the bill.

All I have heard about the Parks and whatnot is the parks have a lobbying firm- http://www.npca.org/media_center/testimonies/energycorridors_073108.html. The head lobbyist is Craig Obey.
The Chairman of The House Appropriations Committee name David R. Obey, Craig's dad.

David used to be a republican.

Among the funding measures included in the proposal are $25 million for new ATV trails; $400 million for the National Endowment for the Arts; $400 million for global warming research; $335 million for the Centers for Disease Control to combat sexually-transmitted diseases; and $650 million coupons to subsidize TV viewers for digital television conversion.
