1: SPECIAL FOLKS!

Here are a few delectable samples of what Th' Ol' Chicago Gang has had their sticky lil' fingers in, just so you'd know:

• $4 million for a Ford Technical Training Center in Chicago Heights
• $1 million for the Illinois film office in Chicago
• $920,000 for the Chicago Aerospace Education Initiative
• $550,000 for the conservation of pheasants
• $500,000 to administer the tanning facility permit act
• $156,000 to Southern Illinois University to refurnish cabins at the “Touch of Nature
• $40,000 for the Springfield Figure Skating Club
• $35,000 for the Prairie Aviation Museum for a display gallery in Bloomington

Pretty juicy uh?  And, surprisingly, it ain't many folks hollerin'! Guess some of you just plan o enjoy ABEO (Abuse By Elected Officials)! Talk about your Taxation without Representation! Wow! Hey, but these folks have your best interest at heart, don't they? They're special! Aw shucks!

Well, gotta go, just wanted to leave you some of this dumb ol' East Texas boy's opinions, but th' figures you can look up for yourself at http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer.

Have a good 'un!
