Albany Does Pork Right

Somehow, I will not be surprised is @alloveralbany says something about this...

FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: Study Claiming Link Between Stimulus Funding and Partisanship is Manifestly Flawed:

"The district that received the largest amount of stimulus funding in the 4th Quarter of 2009, according to de Rugy's tally, is California's 5th Congressional District. Is there anything notable about the 5th Congressional? Well, it is home to the state capital, Sacramento. Let's keep that in mind.

Next on the list is New York's 21st Congressional District. The largest city in the 21st is the state capital of New York, Albany.

Third is the 21st Congressional District of Texas. It contains parts of Texas' state capital, the wonderful city of Austin. (Another district that contains parts of Austin -- the 25th -- ranks 14th on de Rugy's list.)"

This is also one of the few lists where we do rank higher than Austin.
