More examples of ”payback” for good political donors.

Congress has allocated $132 million this year for the multi-state National Domestic Preparedness Consortium and $10 million for the National Institute for Hometown Security in Kentucky -- an earmark from Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky. In addition, $57 million is being spent for the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Alabama, compliments of Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala..

Another $8 million is going for the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium in North Carolina, Tennessee, Iowa, Arkansas and Ohio. This is in addition to the $7 million already in the Center for Catastrophe Preparedness and Response in New York and the $120 million for an advanced training center in West Virginia, the result of several earmarks from former Senate Appropriations Chairman Robert Byrd, D-W.Va.
