Shelby Pork Report XX
2009 January 21
The headline from this article pretty much sums it up: MONEY TO PAVE ROAD TO NEW AIRPORT. I knew the Fed was printing money about as fast as it could, but their presses must really be humming to print enough to pave a road!
WASHINGTON, DC Friday, January 16, 2009– U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced that the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration has awarded $648,693 to Centre Piedmont-Cherokee County Regional Airport for road paving.
The existing road to the airport is gravel. Clearly the access road to a little airport in Cherokee County (pop. 23,988) is a federal concern.

Never saw the row of brand new C-130’s parked at Trent Lott International Airport in Hurley, Ms, I take it.
What folks don’t realize is that there can be little difference between pork and a bowl of pottage.
