The Chairman of the House Resources Committee used $68,000 of your tax money to mail out fliers saying how wonderful a rule on snomobiles is. Rep Richard Pombo (R-CA) sent out the fliers to 166,000 people in the battleground states of Minnesota and Wisconsin and 9,600 people in Montana and Wyoming. Those are big snowmobile places. The rule is a Bush administration decision to let snowmobile riders run through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Democrats claim the mailings came after a deadline to prevent politicking on the public dime. But the big mystery is why the Miami Herald is reporting on a snowmobile story. (Miami Herald)
