3 January 2008The mark of the EThe Oklahoman ran a partial list of Oklahoma-related earmarks in that huge federal-spending bill, and as pork goes, we seem to have gotten mostly rinds. This is the one, though, that really gets me:
$500,000 for the I-40 Crosstown Expressway project.
Half a million bucks for a project that's going to cost over a billion? What is this, National See If Tom Coburn Is Sleeping Day? Five hundred Gs wouldn't build one good onramp not that we have any real experience in this state when it comes to building good onramps. Posted at 8:41 AM to SoonerlandI have to admit that almost all of these sound worthy, maybe not FEDERAL worthy. I haven't seen one that made me think "What the Hell?!?!?!" But still, some of these should be at state & local level Posted by: Dwayne "the canoe guy" at 10:38 AM on 3 January 2008 |
