They Voted For You: Federal Spending

All three West Virginia U.S. House members voted for "a $410 billion measure Wednesday that boosted domestic programs, bristled with earmarks and chipped away at policies left behind by the Bush administration," The Associated Press reports.

Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-1st; Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd; and Nick Rahall, D-3rd, were part of the 245-178 majority that passed the Omnibus Appropriations Act.

Capito was among just 16 GOP members to support the legislation. Other Republicans "assailed the measure as too costly -- particularly on the heels of a $787 billion stimulus bill that President Barack Obama signed last week," AP reports. "The bill is intended to allow smooth functioning of the government through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year. The Senate has yet to vote on its version."
