I expect my proposal for the total abolition of the pork barrel - TopicsExpress



          

I expect my proposal for the total abolition of the pork barrel will meet strong opposition in both the Senate and the House. This is why the second best solution is to gradually phase out the PDAF. This will give senators and congressmen time to adjust to the new rules. Many voters, rightly or wrongly, expect their congressman to ‘bring home the bacon’ to the district, in the form of capital projects. Each congressman could do this by availing of the pork barrel. We are legislators, not public works contractors. People look up to us to make serious laws that could change the lives of a great number of people or could change the way society is run or managed. - Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago
