Massaro Farm Is Among Recipients of Federal Earmarks
One hundred year old Woodbridge farm is an educational resource.
The Massaro Community Farm, , is among the recipients of Congressional earmarks, which have come under renewed attack by candidates in the 2012 election campaign.
A Connecticut Mirror article published this week mentions $300,000 earmark U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro attached to a bill in 2010 for the farm.
Earmarks are a favorite target, because many of them are examples of wasteful spending, but the article notes that Connecticut’s congressional representatives view them as a valuable, "misunderstood" legislative tool.
