Jackson County Representative Jason Holsman criticized Republicans for giving money to pork projects when the state faces an 8 percent budget shortfall for fiscal year 2011.
"We are looking at an economic time where we are stagnated, and we are going to face an 8 percent shortfall in the next budget cycle," said Rep. Jason Holsman, D-Kansas City. "So here we have (House Bill) 22, with ... pork projects going to different districts when we need to be saving this money for our services that we provide the state of Missouri."
