Statement by Dr. Eric Wargotz regarding Baltimore Sun revelations about Senator Mikulski’s pork barreling practices
“The Baltimore Sun reported that Maryland ’s senior U. S. senator won $10.5 million in federal pork barrel spending for three of her most generous campaign contributors.
“During a time of budgetary crisis in Washington , it is irresponsible for Senator Mikulski to use her powerful position on the Senate Appropriations Committee to enrich her campaign supporters. Further, I find it appalling that she would hide behind the troops to justify her actions.
“The Pentagon didn’t ask for any of the funding requests (totaling $42.1 million, including the $10.5 million already referenced) the senator received. If Senator Mikulski thinks she knows better than the military does, she owes it to her constituents to explain why.
“Senator Mikulski should eschew the politics of the past and devote her energies towards participating in the healthcare debate raging on Capitol Hill. Despite more than three decades of involvement in this issue, she has been oddly absent now that the debate is here.
“ Maryland ’s taxpayers deserve Senator Mikulski’s advocacy more than her campaign contributors do.”

mikulski has always been against the military, and any funding for it, so this is either a favor to her contributers or maybe she's found a way to fund something that will benefit all the gays in the military! used to think ny was liberal till i found maryland had sarbanes and mikulski. what is wrong with marylanders?
maybe next time she gets mugged, we should show him our thanks!
Mikulski is an idiot, just look at her, she is a joke. Please vote the old bag out and put some new blood in office.
Milkulski claims to fight for jobs, jobs, jobs, yet she is for amnesty and against E-Verify that would weed out illegals and give those JOBS to American citizens.
I'm a bit concerned on this guys views on the second amendment
Wargotz is an unwavering advocate. Nothing to be concerned about there. Unlike some of his opponents.
