Thread: Barletta Opponent, Kanjorski, Scrutinized On Earmarks

Barletta Opponent, Kanjorski, Focus Of CBS Story On Earmarks Tonight
By Digger

The opponent of Mayor Lou Barletta in the 11th congressional district race in Pennsylvania is the focus of an earmarks story tonight on CBS News with Katie Couric. The piece will focus on $5.6 million in earmarks by Paul Kanjorski that were slated to be used for a parking garage in Nanticoke, PA. It turns out that that money has not been used for a garage, but was magically turned into a surface parking lot. Kanjorski, a 12 term Democrat, has been in congress too long obviously. Mayor Barletta, a staunch hero in the pro-American immigration enforcement community is challenging him for his seat.

The complaints on the earmarks come not from Barletta however, but from a state representative, John Yudichak who happens to be a Democrat. This is not the first time that Kanjorski has been involved in shady dealings. In May a story broke on Kanjorski being involved in bankrupt Cornerstone Technologies, a company run by his daughter and four of his nephews, that received over $9 million in government grants and contracts.

My other question in this case is why are people in Florida and California and elsewhere in the country paying for a parking garage in Pennsylvania? That is ridiculous and why earmarks need to be reigned in heavily.

Do citizens of Pennsylvania in the 11th district need to continue to put up with this corrupt official? No, they have a choice this year. Mayor Lou Barletta.

I'll hopefully have the video of the CBS report tonight.

ALL ALIpac'ers and Associated NO Amnesty advocates must gather round and support Lou Barletta...he has guts and integrity!

This guy is doing business just like the whole Bush Crime Family is . Ripping off the taxpayer ! Hope this will make people think of Lou and put him over the top on his run .

WAY TO GO FIND AND AUDIT THE TAX DOLLAR FOR THE TAXPAYERS, PLEASE

Did anyone see the report? I'm blown away that CBS did this. I hope it gives a boost to Barletta.

Congressman Kanjorski: Federal Tax Dollars Are 'Free Money' [Video]
By Digger

As I posted yesterday, 12 term Democrat representative Paul Kanjorski from the 11th district in Pennsylvania did a recent interview that aired last night on earmarks. In this news clip Kanjorski states that federal tax dollars are "free money".

For more on this story and what happened to the $5.6 million dollars Kanjorski appropriated see my post
Barletta Opponent, Kanjorski, Focus Of CBS Story On Earmarks Tonight

Something that came out of the clip below that I didn't know is that the Kanjorski Center itself was the result of a previous earmark for $3 million dollars. It now sits abandoned after 3 years.

Kanjorski also supports amnesty for illegal aliens.

Kanjorski's seat is up for grabs and being challenged by Hazelton Mayor Lou Barletta. I urge you to go support Lou Barletta and get these corrupt crooks out of office.

Sent to my email addresses. I suggest you do the same. Let's get some more support for Barletta.

Unbelievable

Yes I saw this report on CBS and was pleasantly surprised they would air a negative report about a Dem..When he said,on the air,It's Free Money" I wanted to reach thru the TV and throttle him ! The interviewer reminded him it is not free money it is tax payer money.He wanted to build the garage to go with the EMPTY office building bearing HIS name he built with taxpayer money.

He is a pompus self serving ass and it showed in the interview.

I hope Barletta's group uses this.

I think I'll send it to them just in case. You never know.
