No we want our representative to leverage her vote to try and get something for the district.
So you DO want omnibus bills filled with pork and set aside nonsense.
Plus, Letlow had zero leverage to do anything of the sort. Her vote wasn't needed to pass the bill.

It doesn’t have to be an omnibus bill. The bill contained money for modernization and restoration of old missiles and that is going to require an expansion of facilities. So it was pork that was already in the bill.

She had leverage with MTG trying to oust Johnson as Speaker. She could leverage her support for Johnson in exchange for something for the district.
