'Pork Barre
Projects from Sunnyside school to 12 volunteer fire
departments are slated to receive special appropriations
from Rep. David Redwlne when the 1985
legislature adjourns around the end of the month.
Bedwine submitted his appropriations bill this week.
Commonly known as "pork barrel" money, the funds
are an nnH-nf-Shn-sossinn anoronriation shared by the
majority party members of the Democratic-dominated
General Assembly.
Bedwine is allocating $40,000 of his $50,000 appropriation
to Brunswick County projects and $5,000 each to
causes in New Hanover and Pender counties.
