A proposal to end the government shutdown and avoid default orchestrated by Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Leader Harry Reid includes a $2 billion earmark for a Kentucky project.
Language in a draft of the McConnell-Reid deal (see page 13, section 123) provided to WFPL News shows a provision that increases funding for the massive Olmsted Dam Lock in Louisville from $775 million to nearly $2. 9 billion.

The Senate is controlled by greedy pigs that ignore the
US Constitution, that ignore ‘Equal under the Law’,
and that have ARMED al Qaeda against the American people.

Judas sold out the world for 30 pieces of silver, guess McConnell thought selling out America for $2B is just simple inflation...

People in KY are so uninformed that I bet most don’t even know that McC went through an embarrassing humiliation today.

Guess all the talk about Reid putting the fork into McConnell with is post deal talk is not correct. McConnell will ride it through the election.

Glad we have people who have to read these things for us.
Here’s the final bill:
http://www.c-span.org/uploadedFiles/Content/Documents/AMENDMENT10-16-13C.PDF
Here’s the offending passage:
“SEC. 123. Section 3(a)(6) of Public Law 100676 is
2 amended by striking both occurrences of $775,000,000
3 and inserting in lieu thereof, $2,918,000,000. “
Looks entirely innocent, until you know what Public Law 100-676 is.
