WASHINGTON — Hal Rogers, who over a 30-year career in Congress has honed his skills at winning pork-barrel projects for his constituents back in Kentucky, is in line to head the House committee that next year will spearhead the Republican drive to trim the fat off federal spending.
The House Republican Steering Committee announced Tuesday that it was recommending Rogers to chair the 60-member Appropriations Committee, the panel responsible for disbursing more than $1 trillion in non- entitlement program federal dollars every year.
