- The respondent to pwrslm is correct. This is not a partisan issue but as long as pwrslm and others believe it is then the republican party is safe from appropriate scrutiny. Forget the partisan BS fools. Congress, both parties are the enemy and it is time we start holding them accountable. For example, Congress chides the Iraqi parliament for not passing tuff legislation. The only thing our congress can vote on is pablum (see Petraeus ad). When''s the last time these fools passed difficult legislation? Social Security, Illegal immigration, tax REFORM, Health care''s ever increasing costs, frivolous lawsuits, etc.
Attention Americans! You''re are being screwed minus the benefit of a kiss! Replace ALL INCUMBENTS next year. Start over. Do this a couple of times and the congressional thieves may get the message. Domenici has been a senator for 25 yrs., 19 years too long!!!! - Reply to this comment

Right ON!
maki22? You''re an a*s*s! Stop corrupting the story! You may want to think $2million is nothing, but I have a few government programs that could really USE it!
How about a program to give free head lice kits out to low income families?
More free flu shots for the elderly?
More free assistance to get your hot water tanks insulated to cut fuel costs?
Even help lower the cost of building more jails for the corrupt CEO''s of this nation that steal our tax dollars (AND our TAXED dollars..)any way they can! - Reply to this comment
- Two million dollars is not so much money.
I wonder how much it cost to run the story - all infrastructure and support costs included?
Maybe CBS could manage to get their number correct on the costs and rolls of Federally funded security contracters in Iraq and elsewhere including for use in interrogations and ......... torture.
That would be a story.
But CBS won''t get that lead from their Republican congressman buddy. - Reply to this comment

- Hmmm, paint to kill toxic bacteria? How safe can THAT be to put on your walls .. "yes, welcome to my beautiful new home ... just don''t touch the walls or you''ll die!" I could see maybe a paint that can kill deadly mold .. but no that couldn''t be safe to touch either?! Sound crazy, and I wonder was tax breaks that company gets out of that town/State already!

- God. What a reminder of why I no longer watch CBS news. Getting a jump on a black congresswoman because she has gotten a whopping 2 mil for a local company? What else is new? Have you any clue what a miniscule amount 2 mil is compared to the Federal budget. I found that, after the initial encounter (in which the reporter recoils in shock that a black woman has touched her - for which the congresswoman immediately apologizes) the congresswoman gave a very gracious interview. An interview she didn''''t need to give. Well, you please the racist demographic, eh?

- Sherwin-Williams C M. Connor $10,061,857 $1,075,296 $1,505,000 $2,534,483
CEO Connor at Sherwin Williams compensation is over 15 million per year, why do they need 2 million dollars of taxpayer money?
Let them pay for it, if they can afford to pay salaries of this stature.
I know one congress person that should be in jail, this company doesnt need a dime from the taxpayers. - Reply to this comment
