Texas needs $27M stimulus $$$ to rebuild Governor’s Mansion, Austin
Buzzing about what each state will do with its share of the stimulus money! Very creative ideas! EX. : Green dog parks in California! Texas golf course for Frisbees in Austin Texas! But the most creative so far is yet again Texas: it seems the Governor’s Mansion was hit by a vandal and burned to the ground June 8 last year. So the estimates to repair are in the range of $27 Million – yes! Governor Rick Perry’s wife is all about private fund raising but that moves very slowly. So yesterday we heard from the Texas Finance Committee Chair Steve Ogden, a great example of the need for term limits LOL
He suggested we get the money from the approximately $16 BILLION that is destined for Texas! Can you see the jobs created??!! Wow! All I can see is a carefully selected architect – now underway but he needs to be paid! plus a handful of ultra high priced master renovation experts. Is this really what 44 wants the stimulus to be used for? Frisbee golf courses, green dog parks, and fire renovation? Maybe I just do not get it. The stimulus still smells like payback from 44 and botox-billionare-Pelosi. But what do I know? Everyone, pace yourself & I will do the same. Adios
