    "content": "Public funds should not be politicized. We all know the kind of manipulation having your image on a project shows. It can be used for campaign and to measure your success. Yet, most of the time, you have nothing to do with the project. It is probably a projection that the county had done even before you got the seat, for example, now you are taking all the credit as a governor to manipulate voters. You can delay a project and make sure you time it just before elections because you know you are going to brand it your image and it is going to give you an unfair advantage on the political competition. I know I am the last speaker to speak on this and so, we do not have the latitude of time. I congratulate this Committee for such a progressive report and for the House for almost unanimously supporting it. These are the kind of changes that the people on the ground expect us to make. In effect we are doing is we are leveling the playing ground between incumbents and incoming leaders. What that does for our political landscape is tremendous. It goes a long way and the effects will be felt everywhere. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks I support. I am waiting for Sen. Chute to do what he said he would do when I support."
