"Lawmakers Have Long Rewarded Their Aides With Bonuses
Interesting how this is crafted both Republicans and Democrats, awarded bonuses totaling $9.1 million to more than 2,000 staff members, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of office-disbursement forms. The money comes out of taxpayer-funded office budgets, and is surplus cash that would otherwise be forfeited if not spent. .... ________ APRIL 1, 2009, 10:07 A.M. ET...

The Ohio Economic Model Authored by Democrats
