Shannon Fiecke of the Shakopee Valley News reports:

Scott County Commissioner Joe Wagner expects his congressman to try to bring home some "bacon" like other representatives do, but it's roads he wants, not pork.

To protest the methods congressmen use to allocate funding for special projects in their home districts, U.S. Rep. John Kline has decided to stop requesting earmarks at all for the 2nd District. Although there are other avenues of funding, this stance could hamper what Kline is able to bring back to Scott County.
