I am very interested in the Coburn amendment that was voted on in the Senate. The amendment would have steered the money away from the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere” in Alaska to repairs on infrastructure in Louisiana.
If you follow the link above, the person there says that the amendment passed. But today Instapundit declares that the Senate rejected the amendment! Who is correct here?
Why is it that Google has NO NEWS about this whatsoever? Is the press really ignoring this completely?
Meanwhile, it seems that Powerline is claiming that Sen. Patty Murray (whom the link above has as voting no for the amendment) said that any Senators who vote for the amendment, we on the Appropriations Committee will take a “long, hard look” at any projects in your state.
Doesn’t that sound like mafia racket talk to you?
Also, note in the link above, where it claims that the amendment passed, the variety of Republicans AND Democrats opposed to it. Definitely a bi-partisan crime.
