or the other? you know, whiteman air force base, leonardwood, and skelton s name is actually even on a national guard training center in jefferson city. it s a very big deal. his work on the armed services committee as chairman gives him an opportunity to bring home a lot of bacon, earmarks are a dangerous thing in american politics. there was a time not too long ago where bringing money back to your district could be a good thing. he s running against hartzler, saying she voted benefits a bill against a bill for veterans, it s a tough ad but she voted against it taking away from veterans cemetaries, and she said skelton is out of touch with folks in missouri. here s how she put it: he s not reflecting the views and values of the fourth district anymore. not only has he come out to washington and cast our vote for nancy pelosi for speaker, but he s now squandered our vote with her by giving it to her 95 percent of the time for
her liberal agenda and we re not nancy pelosi here in missouri. reporter: we ve tried to get ahold of like skelton, tried to get an interview with him the last several days, unable to arrange that. seventy-eight years old, he hasn t been on the campaign trail very much but then again, they ve been working in washington. it s given h aofplt rtzler an opportunity to attack with not a lot of presence on the campaign trail. bill: carl cameron, st. charles, missouri. martha. martha: looks like the taxpayers will be not be on the hook for a multi billion dollar tunnel project that was supposed to be from new jersey to new york but governor chris christie has pulled the plug on this plan that s been in the works for years to build a commuter train between the two states, hundreds of millions of dollars have already been spent on this project, the budget was almost $9 billion, but christie says if they run the numbers he believes it could go as high as $14 billion if they do it. take a look.
