Pork Roast

By SFR

A news release from the capital just came in, and it sounds like good news: Gov. Richardson's freezing capital outlay projects and canceling grant agreements for all projects that don't have third-party agreements. According to politico

Steve Terrell

, this could mean eliminating anything from the opera's plein air practice facility to water and sewer systems, rape crisis centers or affordable housing. From the release:

we spent $350,000 on a special legislative session? And whose pork is it, really? The release says the goal of the freeze is to save $150 million, though, so it could be worth it. The whole statement just seems weird.
