FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS -- HIGHWAY BILL: On Friday, Congress sent to
President Bush a six-year $286.5 billion highway bill which was
overflowing with wasteful pork spending.

Hmmm. The Highway bill appropriated the necessary funding to widen I-75 in
Southwest Florida from 2 lanes to 3 lanes. Since most of the working folks
in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Fort Myers have to sit in 1-2 hours
of traffic on that road every morning, I'd say that the money is hardly
"wasteful pork spending".
