Story in the Miami County Weekend details the $94,000 earmark Nancy Boyda secured for the Miami County Sheriff's Department in the recently approved budget bill.
The money will go toward tough laptops and mounting equipment for deputies’ cars, Kelly said. With the laptops and a new records system, deputies will be able to file reports using wireless Internet hotspots and not have to leave the field, he said. The office will start using the new software in the next two months.
The number of laptops the office will get will be determined by the total cost, which includes hard-covered laptops, equipment to mount them in the cars and networking, Kelly said.
“We were fortunate to get the money,” he said.
As a follow up to yesterday's post, a commenter provided this link for anyone who wanted look a little deeper at Congresswoman Boyda's record on illegal immigration: It gives bill and vote numbers for Boyda's votes against amnesty and to fund the border fence. Also, the site provide Representative Boyda a grade on her votes thus far on illegal immigration: she gets an "A."

i love seeing things like this...this is what our member of congress is supposed to do for us.
I like this too. Too bad Nancy criticized Jim for it when he brought money back. Nancy campaigned on an "earmarks are bad" message. Um, this is an earmark. In my opinion, a good one. But which is it?...earmarks are bad? Or only some earmarks are bad? I'd say it's the latter, but that's not what Nancy said. It is, however, how she's acting.
i think you're mistaken...i think nancy said some earmarks were bad..this one, of course, isn't.
