The CREW report, released Tuesday, says that Rogers has helped to procure “more than $236 million from the federal government since 2000” for seven Kentucky nonprofits which he helped found. That sum, according to CREW, divides up into $173 million worth of earmarks, and another $62 million of funds that came directly from federal agencies.
According to the CREW report, many of those federal grants came as a result of Rogers’ direct intervention.
It looks like the Republicans continue to want to balance the budget on the backs of the weakest, while giving away government billions to those rich and powerful. Smell something rotten?
