I don't know exactly how this solar green house is going to be used, but its being sold by 1) Lawrence Tech, so it research related, 2) the use might be legitimate.<BR/><BR/>And if this is the best CAGW can do in "waste," then they need new researchers. Certainly, the CAGW people should explain why this is egregious, more than just posting the line-item.<BR/><BR/>And finally, it sounds like Joe got some of our money back. Sure, it shouldn't be taxed in the first place, but you're for higher taxes too, aren't you? And once the federal money is taken from us, at least Joe is trying to get some of it back to us. Keep publicizing this one, Bruce. It makes Joe look good on several counts (of course, all you'll publish is the word "egregious" without context).Chetly Zarkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853223756872874594noreply@blogger.com
