Todd Tiahrt Wasteful Earmark Of The Day
Club for Growth Spokesman Barney Keller: “Maine is about as far away from Kansas as you can get without hitting Canada, but Todd Tiahrt’s fingerprints are all over wasteful spending even there.”
Washington, DC – As part of an ongoing series, the Club for Growth PAC today highlighted another wasteful earmark supported by former Congressman Todd Tiahrt. Tiahrt is challenging incumbent Congressman Mike Pompeo (R-KS), who has been endorsed by the Club’s PAC and opposes wasteful earmarks.
Today, the Club for Growth PAC noted as a member of Congress, Todd Tiahrt voted to spend $200,000 on a Lobster Institute in Orono, Maine
“Maine is about as far away from Kansas as you can get without hitting Canada, but Todd Tiahrt’s fingerprints are all over wasteful spending even there,” said Club for Growth Spokesman Barney Keller. “Lobster Institutes, Cash for Clunkers, Aquariums in South Carolina — you name it, Todd Tiahrt probably voted for it. Todd Tiahrt’s ridiculous attempt to claw his way back into Congress is meeting with resistance by Kansans fed up with the big spenders in Washington.”
