Talk about a special interest
Legislators love to trumpet their ability to deliver a sizeable chunk of the taxpayers money towards their own voters (whether they asked for it or not). Down here, they even coined a tasty phrase for it: "bringing home the bacon."
Well, when it comes to the Audacity of Hype, the "bacon" ends up far closer to home than most would expect.
