WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mandatory funding for two controversial bridge projects in Alaska -- including the ridiculed "bridge to nowhere" -- has been stripped from a federal spending bill, a congressional committee said on Wednesday.
As a compromise, Alaska will still receive the money that had been set aside for the bridges to spend as it likes on transportation needs. (By the way transportation dollars come from gas taxes, I doubt that the population of Alaska payss anything like the money necessary for that money for the bridge or their highways. Alaska's roads useful for their needs, but excesses appear in items like these.)
That may not look like funding the bridge - but since my post was about the waste by Republicans for junk, that began to creap into the life of the controlling congress,instead of serous projects - like the Super Collider, I stand by my premise and the details of spending for the bridge.
