Who decided who gets Georgia stimulus money? In other words, who said they needed $56M???
They must all be socialist democraps in Wilkinson County, cause no conservative Christian leaders would take the facist Obamacon's government hand-out stimulus money.
Highways to nowhere. That's the best we can expect from Georgia Republican leadership.
Wilkinson County is where my people are from -- Toomsboro, to be exact. There's not even ONE red light there.
Yeah, I'm sure Jim Marshall isn't too upset about this either, but it's the states that decide where the stimulus money is spent. Surprise, surprise, the metro Atlanta area gets screwed again. At least we're not the only city getting hosed: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/09/us/09projects.html?_r=2&partner=rss&emc=rss
