I know this bill has caused many mixed feelings in Washington, specifically about the earmarks, but quite pleasantly surprised when I saw the PCT mentioned.

Switchback replies: Say, I think it should have been $5 million for the PCT.? Sounds kind of stingy to me.? The only thing that bugs me is that it is the earmark method of getting funds for one thing or another.??All that stuff should be separate from other bills.? Let the merit of these things stand on their own.? We have?passionate PCT advocates, who will help.? I hate it when these politicians say one thing campaigning and then do the opposite?in power.?
