Different roads taken to pork barrel
A Washington AP analysis shows New York's two senators using divergent tactics on the Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway. Moynihan opposes the boondoggle, arguing funds should favor northern needs like the Catskills tunnel, while D Amato supported Tem-Tom to gain NY support. The 232 mile canal costs are projected at 2 to 3 billion with 189 million approved for this year. Moynihan criticizes the project as misdirected pork, and D Amato defends maintaining invested funds and argues for balanced national public works.
