Huffington’s Record
In your May 4 article, “Michael Huffington Wins Few Allies in Congress, Is Proud of It,” your reporter describes GOP Senate candidate Rep. Michael Huffington’s record in Congress as “razor thin” and “slim.” But in the third paragraph, it says that he “refused to pursue all but a few federal projects for his Santa Barbara-area district, called for elimination one of the two committees of which he is a member and frequently criticized his colleagues for excessive spending.”
I’ve got news for you--refusing to vote yourself pork-barrel projects is not the same as not compiling a good record. This is only a “slim” record for people who equate spending this country into debt with progress.
We need more legislators who know how to “slim down” our government. Huffington’s getting my vote.
