ReplyDeletedoes anybody remember the phrase "shovel-ready projects"???
you blue dots blow my mind. the stimulus was passed to keep unemployment below 8 per cent. then you don't spend the money as you said you would (some would call that lying) and blame bush when the stuff hits the fan.
i'm going to lay this out for you, lennox.
(1.) artur davis is running for governor.
(2.) artur davis went to haaaavaaaad with obama.
(3.) artur davis attends super bowl parties with obama.
(4.) is it too much to ask davis to get off his ass and lobby obama for some of the 300 to 600 billion (according to who you read) of the stimulus to do what it was intended to do??? (that's a rhetorical question, timmy)
the dome is a pig-in-a-poke and always has been. but people are hurting and need those jobs. concrete pouring. steel erected, walls built. carpet laid. paint applied.
the money's being wasted/blown anyway. the money needed to build a fine facility is a drop in the bucket of the money being thrown around (printed?) in washington.
why not have something to show for it???
Why not let the people of Jefferson County and the surrounding area have a dome staduum? Historically haven't they paid approximately one fourth of the state's revenue?
