The state of Massachusetts gave the University of Massachusetts $5 million, earmarked for the Institute. As a senator in 2010, current Sec. of State John Kerry waged an unsuccessful attempt to earmark another $28.9 million for the museum

...

the $18.9 million Defense Department earmark was “funneled through the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.” That panel was once led by Kennedy pals, the late Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye and the late Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens,

He is flooding the US with criminal invaders while honest Americans are struggling to find a decent job.

Trying to cut military pay, then this garbage.

$38 million to praise this drunken murderer? Vice-Clown biden said today that ted (I’ll drown you in a car) kennedy was a key figure in giving him personal guidance. These criminal politicians are unbelievable.

So if there is $5.8mil in the 2009 budget it’s still in there since we’ve been operating on continuing resolutions since. That on top of the 31% baseline budget increase and probably 100,000 other one time appropriations, now you know where Obolas slush fund comes from.

Ah yes, the floating VW bug and the caption If Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagon he’d be president today.

I think it was mid 70s but I could be mistaken.

The treasonous POS scumbag doesn’t deserve $0.38 of taxpayer money.

The settlement was kept secret, but it is rumored to be between $25,000 and $80,000. I don't think it was ever close to $250K as ALL Kennedy money is squirreled away in a Pure Trust.

I knew it. I knew it!
I was wondering where the money came from.

They (Kennedy's, EXEMPT GOPe, & Democrats) ripped off the taxpayers to fund the shrine to the drunken slob. God I hate those bastards!

I had read that it was $25,000. However I have not been able to find out.

Mary Jo Kopechne and her family say that’s 38 million too much for the memory of a philandering , obese, misogynistic Chapaquidic sucking A-hole, whose main contribution to society was to use his position of privilege to climb up over the backs of men better than him, and have military and civilian rules bent for him.
