Foxx Couldn't Be Reached for Comment

From today's N&O: "After the vote [for federal relief to the Gulf Coast], Foxx, a Republican from Banner Elk [and one of only 11 who voted against the aid package], was not available for comment. A spokeswoman, Amy Auth, said Foxx is saddened by the disaster and has urged residents to help with relief efforts. But she voted against the spending because she believes it does not have accountability protections built in. 'It is three times the size of the entire state budget of North Carolina,' Auth said. 'Not a penny of it is for reconstruction of the affected area. ... Rep. Foxx wants to be sure that tax money is spent wisely.' "

Hmmmm. "Accountability." And would her model for "accountability" be, say, the Iraqi War?
