WASHINGTON – The man who wants to represent Chautauqua County in congress is once again looking toward wasteful spending in the federal government. Congressman Tom Reed (R-Corning) is questioning the National Science Foundation awarding a grant of over $425,000 to India that will fund a study to determine the effectiveness of that nation’s communication with its own citizenry. Reed said that at a time when American families are struggling to make ends meet, he questions the logic in spending nearly half a million of their hard earned tax dollars on a study for a foreign government.
The NSF grant will fund research on the effectiveness of communication between officeholders in the Indian government and the Indian electorate. Earlier this year Reed began an initiative to keep a spotlight on what he believes is wasteful government spending. So far, the program has highlighted more than $14.5 billion of wasteful spending.
