a congressional district that is consistently among the top in Texas in its reliance on dollars from Washington.

'Nuff Said. ;)

Not without an analyis of just what those federal dollars are for. If they are for purchase of goods and services to serve Constitutional federal programs, that's one thing, but's quite another if they are for bridges over the bayous, except perhaps interstate and defense hiway bridges. (For example, most everything that gets shipped overseas to/from Ft. Hood goes through ) Houston/Galveston.)

About the only Texas politicos who I see excessive projects named after are LBJ and Alberto Gonzales (In parts of San Antonio at least). But nothing like the plethora of "Robert Byrd" building/bridge/tunnel/auditorium and cow path you see in West Virginia. (We do have a George H.W. Bush tollway, while the highway named after LBJ is a *free* way).
