Yet More Pork

Government pork - the gift that keeps on giving.

$25,000 to support a traveling exhibition and ethnographic marketing workbook for Tuscarora beadworkers and Akwesasne basketmakers.

$10,000 to support the construction of an 18-foot birch bark canoe.

$10,000 to support the production of a contemporary play. As part of its Classics in Context Series, The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman will be produced with accompanying community outreach activities.

$15,000 to support a summer symposium series to expand the public's knowledge of ceramics.

$1.3 million to provide for construction of new hangar, removal of old hangars, and improved road access at the Frenchville (population 1,225) Airport

$97,000 to the Franco-American Heritage Center in Lewiston, an organization committed to preserving and promoting all aspects of the Franco-American heritage, including the culture, history, and language.

You know, this is beginning to annoy me. I simply cannot believe how much of my money is wasted by the government.
