Taxpayers Taken for A Ride.. On a Skateboard

The City Of Pawtucket gets a Skate Board Park as part of the Friday the 13th Stimulus Package. Obama promised money would be spent on “critical” projects.
City of Pawtucket is in deep trouble, the US Taxpayer and Taxpayers for generations to come, are all very happy to save the city of Pawtucket with this most “critical” need project.

FYI.. Rhode Island’s. Rep Patrick Kennedy and Senator Jack Reed both sit on the powerful panels that have authority over all the federal gov’s DISCRETIONARY spending ... Appropriations Committees

But, but it was a "shovel ready" project !!!!  Meanwhile on the upper Mississippi there are some lock and dam projects that have been waiting for funding.
