$30 million for a spring training facility is certainly a questionable project
The $787 billion stimulus bill was passed in February and was promised as a job saver and economy booster. Here is where some of the money went:
- $300,000 for a GPS-equipped helicopter to hunt for radioactive rabbit droppings at the Hanford nuclear reservation in Washington state.
- $30 million for a spring training baseball complex for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.
- $11 million for Microsoft to build a bridge connecting its two headquarter campuses in Redmond,Wash.,which are separated by a highway.
- $430,000 to repair a bridge in Iowa County,Wis.,that carries 10 or fewer cars per day.
- $800,000 for the John Murtha Airport in Johnstown,Pa.,serving about 20 passengers per day,to build a backup runway.
It is about time for a tax revolt
This crap has to stop. Just writing our congress does no good,so I guess we have to start screaming like never before. If this doesn't stop and stop now we won't have a country left. Where's the sanity in DC
