Cheyenne Quote
Cheyenne Bodie: Sir, what I asked you about was the bridge bill.
Senator John Tom Matson: I'm getting to that! It is quite true there is no particular need for this bridge. $25,000 has been earmarked for the construction of that bridge. 30 maybe 40 people will be employed directly and each of them will spend their wages in my district, thus creating a circle of prosperity. Now, doesn't that throw a different light on the subject?
Cheyenne Bodie: Well Senator, isn't that what they call a pork barrel?
