Despite voting $17 billion in cuts last week, the House GOP hasn’t given up pork. Take the Republicans on Appropriations, who chose the recision targets. Almost $40 million survived in Louisiana, home of chairman Bob Livingston. Indiana’s John Myers saved $9.65 million. Pennsylvanian Joe McDade got $10.2 million, including money for an Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site. And Jim Bunn of Oregon rescued $6.5 million for a new visitors’ center in tiny Newport.
