Op-Ed from Chris Hackett takes aim at Rep. Chris Carney's stance on the farm bill:

There's a growing recognition among reform-minded Republicans and Democrats that the system is broken. So far, that reform position is still in the minority in Washington. This is an issue that cuts to the heart of the problems in our country today. As families in our area struggle with high gas prices, high food prices, and a shaky economy, the last thing Washington should be doing is giving new subsidies to race horse owners and sugar industry giants. Should I be fortunate enough to be sent to Congress from Pennsylvania's Tenth District, you can be sure that I will add to the ranks of reformers opposing the status quo Washington spending game while fighting for what our local farmers really need in a Farm Bill.
