Billy Carter's old gas station: a national site?
Legislation calls for the National Park Service to take over the storied building, making it part of the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site. Some question such a use of taxpayer money....

This is likely another one of those tiny bills nobody looks at that gets tacked onto a much larger more important bill along with a lot of other hitchhiker bills. I doubt the full House knowingly went out of its way to approve this one item (you hope).
