“Now, in the latest development, Senator John F. Kerry and Representative Edward M. Markey are working to secure another $20 million from the Defense Department budget.”

I’d rather the $20 million went to assist patients in the VA Wounded Warrior wards than to honor the late Tubby Kenendy.

20 million dollars for The Swimmer just infuriates me. He was NOT a nice man.

In fact $20.00 would be too much.

Kennedy's estate was supposedly valued at $15 Million. Why not liquidate the estate to pay for the legacy project. That would make it truly a legacy.

It would be a decent legacy and a very nice “family project”,but the Kennedys don’t like paying their own bills.

Let the other guy do it.

How much can a two hole shithouse cost? Go to Lowes and buy some treated lumber and build it over a weekend.
That is a fitting memorial to Ted kennedy{ and the whole deomcratic party as well}

Yeah,and a tastefully framed map of Chappaquiddick Island hanging on the wall.

That’s the legacy of Teddy that I want to remember.
