Roy Blunt Used Highway Bill To Punish Anti-CAFTA Votes

Last week, Fired Up! Missouri reported that Rep. Roy Blunt (R-K Street) acknowledged using taxpayer dollars as a form of political piggybank to buy votes for unrelated measures.

But it is only now becoming clear just how extensively Blunt used that tactic.

This weekend, the Danville (Va.) Register Bee, carried a report that says Blunt used the highway bill to punish those Republican members who didn't tow the party line on the recent CAFTA vote.
