During this chapter, we debunk Cheri’s self-made myth that she would cut wasteful spending.

CHERI TALES:  "I have a different set of priorities — I will reduce the debt the right way, by cutting wasteful spending…"  (Bustos for Congress press release,  Accessed 3/12/2012)

REALITY:  As 4th Ward Alderman, Cheri Bustos requested and spent $40,000 of taxpayer funds on a welcome sign.

NRCC COMMENT: "Cheri Bustos is a hardworking taxpayer’s worst nightmare. If spending $40,000 on a single welcome sign is Cheri’s idea of cutting wasteful spending, then Illinois taxpayers should run for the hills."- NRCC spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
