When I first heard the Wisconsin Assembly (GOP) slipped a $4 million soybean crusher for Rep. Brett Davis’s (R) district into their tightly wound and lean budget, I thought the grant was just another hand-out to some deep-pocketed developer to pay for an actual structure or machine. Stupid me! According to the Janesville Gazette, the $4 million is meant to be used for “studies.”
JG Editorial Excerpt:
Landmark has committed to matching the grant for engineering and final project studies.
Oh, well that’s different.
JG Editorial Excerpt:
When do “pet projects” have merit? The simplistic answer is when they are in your back yard.
Those taxpayer protecting conservatives over at the Gazette believe “bridges to nowhere” are bad, unless of course the taxpayers are paying for a study to build one in their own backyard.
