Defib Dick, repukes Stick it to the Taxpayers

Democrat or a rethuglican, it doesn't matter: if you live here your tax dollars will pay for police overtime as dick Cheney arrives to help raise money for a local repug congressional candidate. About $8,000 will come out of the South Bend Police Department's recall or overtime budget to provide security for Cheney - for a fund-raiser for repuke congressional candidate in the new 2nd District, Count Chris Chocola.

St. Joseph County Democratic Chairman Owen Morgan said the rethug party or Chocola himself should cough up the money. "In essence, taxpayers are paying for Chocola's fund-raising event," Morgan said.
