I thought she had turned the bridge down, any idea if there is some truth from what Williams and others have said tonight in rebuttal?
There was a time during her Governor’s race where she was a supporter of building the bridge.
When the cost went up, and the congress changed the appropriation to a general grant for roads, she decided there were other projects that were more necessary, and that she would no longer support the bridge.
She supported building the road, but providing a cheaper way to get over the water (I guess a ferry or something).
The people in the town were upset she called them “nowhere”.
She never voted FOR the bridge, nor did she ever as an official spend a dime on it.
There was a story on FR about this over the weekend and I think the main point of it was that at one time she was for accepting the federal dollars. Maybe search on the word “bridge”. It was during the attack Sarah’s kid phase, so I don’t know about the accuracy.
