Bringing Home The Bacon
Filed Under Pete Visclosky
Rep. Pete Visclosky is bringing home the bacon — maybe $58 million worth for the home district — if legislation filled with goodies for Indiana’s 1st Congressional District makes it through the Washington sausage grinder, reports the Northwest Indiana Times.
U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Ind., announced Monday the region is poised to receive $58 million for local projects for flood control, environmental protection and infrastructure improvements.
The projects were included in a consolidated appropriations bill that is set for a vote in the House of Representatives later this week, Visclosky’s office reported. The measure also would require a vote in the U.S. Senate before heading to the president.
