Rep. Ed Soliday in middle of NW Indiana issues

Have you noticed how many issues affecting Northwest Indiana involve and quote second term state representative Ed Soliday?

Today's would be a fight over unlocking "emergency" money from Major Moves, a move by Democrats in the house to get an extra $500 million sent to local communities for construction projects.

This all results from the clammoring for $5 billion that is supposed to come to Indiana from the Stimulus Bill, that many are calling the Pork Bill. As much as $500 million is now slated to come to NW Indiana communities. What are your thoughts? Do we need to create construction jobs?
