With the victory in the ‘94 election, Shelby switched sides.
I expect his hand-picked successor to follow suit for the next 30 to 42 years...
Here is the list.
$13 million for the Abbeville Municipal Airport Runway Extension
$26 million for the Tuscaloosa National Airport (TCL) Runway Extension
$100 million for the Woosley Finnell Bridge
$200 million for the Alabama State Port Authority Intermodal and Terminal Expansion
$50 million for a Revolving Loan Fund to benefit the city of Mobile, Alabama
$35 million for the Marion Military Institute
$45 million for the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa
$2.6 million for the Deepening Study for Tennessee—Tombigbee Waterway (TTWW), AL and MS and Black Warrior and Tombigbee (BWT) Rivers; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
$6.7 million for the Alabama River Lakes, AL; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
$356 million for the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, GA, AL & FL; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
$7.25 million for the Black Warrior & Tombigbee Rivers (BWT), AL; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
$7 million for the Dauphin Island Bay, AL; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
$250,000 for the Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam, Lake Seminole, FL, AL & GA; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
$2.25 million for The University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, AL, for a permanent endowment fund to support the recruitment and retention of exceptional faculty in science and engineering.

$76 million for the UAB Heersink School of Medicine, AL, for facilities and equipment
$50 million for the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, AL, for a permanent endowment fund to support the recruitment and retention of exceptional faculty in science and engineering.
I see a bunch of Native American named places.
If Joe changes their names, can they still get the money?
(Of course, but I would argue not.)
Alabama elected his page to replace him - so expect more of the same from our new junior senator.
Not only did the retiring senator load up on pork, he made sure Northern Alabama received next to nothing.
Marx, if ignorant of the cure, was aware of the disease:
Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx
GMTA. Please see #22.
INDLATIONARY RECESSION at least.
INFLATIONARY DEPRESSION.
Notice a lot of University of Alabama system money...
Not a thin dime for Auburn or AUM.
Naturally he’s a U Ala alumni....
That's a little dishonest though because it uses $100 bills.
Using single $1 bills, a trillion dollars would stretch nearly 97 million miles, six million miles longer than the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Stacked one on top of each other, a trillion one dollar bills would reach nearly 68,000 miles high and weigh over a million tons.
We have seen that a lot. It was worse in the 60s and 70s. Nothing has changed. He’s a very selfish person.
A lot of money is going to the colleges. Why? It’s woke spending. Shelby has always been a big spender on colleges. I guess he likes buildings named after himself.
We don’t need to spend tax dollars on colleges and universities anymore. We’d be better off if 70% of them closed and people were forced to get jobs.
Did you graduate from a college / university?
Britt will keep the kickbacks coming.
I sure did. I actually met Richard Shelby there. Spare me.
And, by the way, I paid my own way with jobs that I worked. I didn’t owe student loans when I finished.
I did my best to not elect that woman. Dick Shelby not only robbed the tax payers for this support but he stiffed the north part of the state where most of the growth and tech is at. Dick sucks and we need to primary his little mini me that just won.
Agreed. Wonder where his "ultra-conservative, Trump-endorsed" chief legislative aide was in all of this....
