Jeff Flake criticizes Jim Pederson in Saturday's Arizona Republic Letters section by trying to link Pederson's support for transportation funds for Arizona to blanket support for pork-barrel projects. Even a quick read of Pederson's comments shows his only interest is in providing for legitimate Arizona transportation needs. That's not pork, that's bringing home the tax dollars Arizonans have sent to Washington to solve real Arizona problems.
It's one thing to use money for bridges to nowhere that only 50 people might use. It's another thing altogether to bring our own money back home to maintain, develop and improve roadways in the second fastest-growing state in the country.
We paid the taxes Congressman. Why not bring those dollars back home? Better here than the Alaska wilderness, don’t you think? Jon Kyl and the Republicans have wasted enough of our tax dollars. If Jim Pederson wants to bring Arizona tax dollars home for legitimate purposes like roads and securing our border, he’s got my vote.
