BOSTON (AP) — More than one out of every five dollars of the $126 million Massachusetts is receiving in earmarks from a $410 billion federal spending package is going to help preserve the legacy of the Kennedys.
The bill includes $5.8 million for the planning and design of a building to house a new Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate. The funding may also help support an endowment for the institute.
The bill also includes $22 million to expand facilities at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum and $5 million more for a new gateway to the Boston Harbor Islands on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a park system in downtown Boston named after Kennedy's mother and built on land opened up by the Big Dig highway project.

The $22 million JFK library earmark was sponsored by fellow Massachusetts Democrat Sen. John Kerry, who is also a top sponsor for the money for the Kennedy Senate Institute. Kerry defended the library project, which he said is needed to upgrade the facility.

The billions in earmarks in the federal spending bill have been a source of contention.
President Barack Obama signed the bill which he described as imperfect. He said it must signal an "end to the old way of doing business."
Critics led by Republican Sen. John McCain have denounced the 8,000 pet project contained in the bill as pork.

Ah, but wait till Porkulus II and Porkulus III.
God will be wiping all memory of him and all evidence he ever existed off the face of the earth . . . given the highly unlikely event of him confessing and repenting.
Oh good grief, just by a bar.
He's got this secret identity.
How about the Edward M. Kennedy Women’s Rape, Abuse and Murder Memorial Center! How can One Degenerate Human Being Cause So Much Pain, Suffering and Loss of Life for So Many Good Women? But the Degenerate has GOD to Answer too, and Hopefully Eternity to Serve SATAN!
“One of the most disgusting things that these little pharaohs in Congress does with our tax dollars is to build monuments to themselves.”
They had no trouble renaming streets to Martin Luther King
Parkway, etc. We’ll just rename all the new Kennedy stuff
for Rush, Beck, and Palin.
How can we Massachusetts people stop this - I am open to ideas, tea parties etc....maybe we can pick a time to meet at the bridge at Chappaquiddic and throw Oldsmobiles into the water...
And after we throw the Oldsmobiles in the water, we can all swim back to Edgartown with our neck braces on....
I would like to see the Edward M. Kennedy Windmill Farm. Or the Edward M. Kennedy Offshore Drilling Platform.
Actually, the tab is now up to $22 billion.
