NSC Stimulus Funding Puts McMorris Rodgers In Hot Seat

Some people are calling Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers hypocritical, after she voted against the stimulus bill a year ago and then blogged about how the bill hasn't stimulated the economy, yet sent out a news release last week saying how great it is that the North Spokane Corridor has received $35 million in stimulus money.

Others say it's McMorris Rodgers' job to solicit grant money on behalf of constituents regardless of how she voted on the bill. There have been numerous letters to the editor of the Spokesman-Review on this subject andtoday's 'Getting There' column is also devoted to it.

Read the article and let me know what you think.
