Senate candidate Ronnie Musgrove said Monday if elected he would take conservative fiscal values to Washington and fight pork barrel projects.
In a meeting with the Sun Herald on Monday, the former governor said the federal government spends about $120 billion on pork barrel type projects each year. He said the U.S. is going so far into debt that it has contributed to the national economy getting worse. Citing the work of a national conservative columnist, Musgrove said his opponent, Republican Roger Wicker was a “poster child” for a moratorium on pork barrel projects.
“At some point in time, we need a senator that will say no,” Musgrove said.
