Life Lessons

(Fox News) - Taxpayer advocates in Los Angeles are howling about a decision by the Department of Water and Power to hire specialists to show new and expectant mothers how to properly breast-feed their children. The Los Angeles Times reports the department expects to pay about $50,000 to the winning bidder.

And this comes just days after the utility board approved a new package of water and electrical rate hikes. Says one critic — "You couldn't make this up. This is such a rip-off. You've got to wonder if somebody's cousin runs the lactation business."
But the head of the department says he has no intention of abandoning the idea — "It's enlightened. It's humanitarian. And it boosts productivity."
