INCREASED FUNDING FOR SENATOR MANCHIN’S WIFE’S DEPARTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL
Well, what a coincidence, I’m sure this increased funding for Manchin’s wife’s department isn’t going to make a bit of difference in how Senator Manchin votes on critical Democrat bills. The Diabolical Dems are always one step ahead of our very trusting Republicans. Nancy

President Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure package is set to be a boon for the wife of Sen. Joe Manchin III, a West Virginia Democrat and key swing vote for the White House’s agenda.
Mr. Biden’s legislation, as written, greatly expands funding for the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The federal agency, which is responsible for promoting economic development in the 13 states that make up Appalachia, is led by Mr. Manchin’s wife, Gayle.
According to language included within the infrastructure bill, which was released Sunday night, the ARC is set to receive an additional billion dollars over the next four years. The new funding is set to increase the agency’s federal budget by more than 50% annually.
