In California, an anti-military recruiting effort in the city of Berkeley is turning into a Senate battle over federal earmarks. Republican Senator Jim DeMint says he will introduce a measure to cut $2.3 million in federal spending for Berkeley from a Senate appropriations bill. DeMint says he’s responding to a series of resolutions from the Berkeley City Council in support of protests against the local Marine recruiting center.
