A Million-Dollar Pool?!

Redstate uncovers a choice cut of pork:

In the 2005 Transportation Appropriations bill, the conference report accompanying the legislation included $250,000.00 for construction and renovation of the city pool in Banning, California.

In 2006, the City of Banning, California received another $250,000.00 for city pool improvements. Again, the conference report connected to the Transportation Appropriations bill contained the language.

Now, with Congress set to consider the 2007 TTHUD Appropriations Bill (Transportation, Treasury, and Housing & Urban Development), the conference report again contains $500,000.00 for renovations to the city-owned pool in Banning, California.
Banning, California, is represented by Rep. Jerry Lewis, chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
