Free Minds, Free Eastern Market
I am completely puzzled. Why in the world should the American taxpayer be asked to help pay for the rebuilding of a local market that has no connection to the federal government, except that several members of Congress live nearby?
I would submit that if Del. Holmes-Norton and other members are so concerned about rebuilding Eastern Market than they should dip into their own pockets to help out—not just unassumingly take from the taxpayers. It sure is a lot easier to spend money when it is not yours, than when it is.
