House Supplemental Includes Vital Tropical Fish Funding
What's in the House's supplemental legislation besides needed funding for the troops and some political posturing? The Politico notices a few choice items.
-$5 million for tropical fish breeders and transporters for losses from a virus last year.
--$25 million for spinach that growers and handlers were unable to market, up to 75 percent of their losses.
--$50 million "for asbestos abatement and other improvements" to the Capitol Power Plant....
--$74 million "for the payment of storage, handling, and other associated costs for the 2007 crop of peanuts to ensure proper storage of peanuts for which a loan is made."
