Our first inductee is House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ben Harbin (R-Evans), who took the floor of the State House yesterday and defended a $20.2 billion budget filled with pork and wasteful spending.

Earmarks in the FY 2008 budget include:

• $50,000 to the Aviation Hall of Fame Authority.
• $50,000 for the Civil War Commission.
• $100,000 for the Warner Robins Air Force base museum.
• $608,685 to the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame Authority.
• $1.5 million for CSX rail improvements in Waycross.
• $5 million for “Go Fish.”

Represenative Ben Harbin, you are the first inductee in the Georgia Porkbusters Hall of Shame.
