I hope the other members of the Senate take a good hard look at the Northeast and all the wasted federal aid up here. For example, the Big Dig had an estimated cost of $3.7 billion and we were told it would be completed in 4 years. It's now over $10 billion over cost and 7 years behind schedule. Both the bridge and the tunnel are of substandard construction, the latter is leaking even though it has been open less than a year. The Big Dig is a typical project up here.
It's time to cut off the money flowing to NYC, Boston, Filthadelphia and other corrupt locations where it is used to buy votes.
Chaffee is a jerk in any case.
