Please stop trying to give the Louisiana Congressional delegation a
pass. They have full control on where and what money is spent in the state. Apparently, they know how to get money for bike paths, but not for levees. "James Robinson" wrote in message . 97.142...

There a report in today's WSJ that they were able to get a $400,000 for the Mississippi River Trail and Bikepath and $3,200,000 for bike and pedestrian crossings of the Washington-Palmetto Canal in this year's highway bill. Obviously, the locals have a problem setting priorities and would resent any attempt by the Bush administration to force them to rethink where Federal monies are best spent. They don't get a choice about where to spend that money; It has to be spent where the bill designates. It's also a far cry from the estimated $15 billion required for mitigation according to the Army Corps of Engineers proposals. |
