Since the old saw goes – "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" – I’m flattered that it appears my weekly Waste Watch posts are going to be continued on FR.
As you all know, the top-notch staff in the Republican Senate Caucus actually write the Waste Watch – as they always did for me. They do a great job of highlighting the never ending waste of government.
I always felt is was important to constantly demonstrate government’s inability to spend taxpayer’s dollars efficiently even while my Democrat colleagues continued their call for higher and higher taxes. Apparently my successor, Senator John Benoit does too – he’s started posting his version today. You can find it below.
John, I’m flattered you want to keep this great tradtion alive. Thanks.

Jim –
The first one actually was posted on 1/29 with appropriate kudos to caucus staff and to your years of fighting for the taxpayers!
