Let's Cut Some Spending: $1.1 million for solar panels in a not-so-sunny place

Remember the absolutely critical Omnibus spending bill Congress muscled through at the end of last year? It was 4,000 pages that no one read and cost taxpayers $1.7 trillion.

In our Let's Cut Some Spending series, ForAmerica will chronicle parts of the 2021 and 2022 spending bills from a variety of sources that you probably don't know about - programs, grants and spending of all kinds that should have never happened in the first place and many that are still happening.

Today’s offering: $1.1 for solar panels in one of America’s least-sunny places!

The Washington Examiner reports:

Ending earmarks would be an excellent opportunity for the new House majority to combat the wasteful and corrupt political culture that has infected the nation’s capital and is strangling the economy…

Now that pork is back on the menu, the House and Senate have proposed thousands upon thousands of additional earmarks in pending legislation. Woke waste in this year’s spending bills includes...

...a $1.1 million solar array in Kirkland, Washington, one of the least-sunny places in the country.

In its list of cloudiest states, Farmers' Almanac lists Washington as the number one cloudiest.

The federal government shouldn't be sending our tax dollars to Washington state to pay for this to begin with.

But that they spent so much on solar panels in America's cloudiest state just adds insult to injury.
