The Bridge To Nowhere

quote[If taxpayers want to see how their federal highway dollars are spent, they should head north to this small port (pop. 15,000), which just got a $223 million federal grant to build one of the nation's largest bridges.

Rising 200 feet above water and almost as long as the Golden Gate on San Francisco Bay, the bridge will link this tourist-oriented town at the southern tip of the state to an island with about 50 inhabitants and an airport with fewer than 10 flights a day.]


What an egregious waste of taxpayers money.

For some reason I think the repugs are failing their own "fiscal conservatism" policy.
