A proposal to cut into King Barry's re-coronation campaign

A proposed bill would end funding for the signs that say "Project Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" or "Putting America to Work." You know, the signs with the Big O on them that remind us that all good things in life come from Barack Obama. If you need a reminder, photo at this link.

More Stimulus Waste

Elizabethton's "bridge to nowhere" is now complete and open to the public. This bridge was build with federal stimulus money. It is a five lane bridge with a bike lane and sidewalk that replaces a two lane bridge that "did not even have room for a sidewalk." There was no need for a sidewalk and no need for five lanes.

This bridge goes to the Old Bristol Highway. So, we now have a five-lane bridge that runs into a crooked, two-lane road that was replaced many years ago by a modern highway. Can these people find nothing better on which to spend taxpayer's money? I think the lack of need for this is apparent from the map.
