Political leaders criticize Brown-Waite’s ‘foreign’ remark

You could say U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Brooksville, has created an international incident — except the whole point is that it’s not international.

A week ago, Brown-Waite sent out a press release about the economic-stimulus package pending in Congress. She said the package shouldn’t give $600-per-person checks to residents of Puerto Rico and Guam.

“I do not believe American taxpayer funds should be sent to foreign citizens who do not pay taxes,” Brown-Waite said.”*
