Wonder if McCollum will continue with her misplaced opposition to it in the face of clearly bipartisan support . What I find ironic about it is that she’s the Democrat and she’s objecting to spending the money. What a world, what a world.

Ms McCollum is too busy asking for more dollars for her cross town trolley. Then, when the ridership is unable to support it, she will be seeking increased subsidies. Never mind that buses can be moved from route to route depending on ridership – she insists that we have to replace the streetcars that were removed in the 1950s with overpriced and rigid transportation that is currently killing businesses along the route. The bridge cannot be started too soon.

Where are the Obama bashers for signing this bill. McCollum wants to be fiscally responsible and Bachmann wants to spend big bucks! Whats wrong with this picture? So it seems spending is OK as long as it’s for something in your neighborhood!

My original post/point was, Ms McCollum has no problem spending money. This bridge was first proposed in 1952, when I was 5 years old. Now, 60 years later it is finally going to happen. I’m sure it would have been much less expensive in 1952, 1960, 1970, 1980,1990 or 2000. Government baloney and intervention by a myriad of groups held it off. Now that it is going to be built, we’ll be saving money. How? Well, it certainly woudn’t be any less expensive in another 10 years.

fiscally responsible democrat – what an oxymoron

Now it’s time to sue the Searra club for about 200 mill that it added to the cost of the bridge if it was built 10-15 years ago. I’m sure there members would be happy to kick in the dough.
