Walberg announces $11,794 grant for Marshall police dept.

U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) today announced the Marshall Police Dept. will receive a $11,794 grant from the Dept. of Homeland Security as part of the Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program. The grant will pay for a TacSight SE35 Advanced Thermal Imager.
"I am pleased to announce this grant which will greatly benefit the outstanding Police Dept. in Marshall and improve law enforcement and emergency response services in Marshall," Walberg said.
See this Saturday's Chronicle for more information.

I wonder if he voted for the grant or is just taking credit for it?

Would be interesting to see how he actually voted. This charlatan took credit for the W.K. Kellogg Airport and voted against it. I'm suspect of anything he puts out and the media should be too!

I love the newspaper's response to this anonymous commentor's question, "Look it up yourself..."

They are probably going to complain that they are too busy to actually follow up on a reader's question or dig into an issue any deeper than simply regurgitating politicians' press releases.
