The last time I checked, Kennedy succssfully lobbied for a significant amount of FEDERAL money for that project, knowing full well that the 560% budget increase was due to corruption.

Texsox Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Dalay and GOP fighting back DeLay's Backers Launch Offense Conservatives Say GOP Is Threatened By Mike Allen Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, April 10, 2005; Page A04 Allies and friends of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Tex.) have concluded that public attention to his ethics is unlikely to abate for months to come, and they plan to try to preserve his power by launching an aggressive media strategy and calling in favors from prominent conservative leaders, according to Republicans participating in the strategy sessions. The Republicans said the strategy combines leaks from DeLay allies about questionable Democratic trips and financial matters; denunciations of unfavorable news stories as biased, orchestrated rehashes; and swift, organized responses to journalists' inquiries. The resistance was launched two weeks ago when DeLay flew back to Washington from Texas during Easter recess to speak to a group of about 30 conservative leaders who had gathered in the conference room of the Family Research Council for a call to arms on his behalf. Officials working with DeLay said he is trying to lock in support by sowing the message that an attack on him is an attack on the conservative movement, and that taking him out would be the Democrats' first step toward regaining control of the House and Senate. These officials said they believe the attacks are part of a strategy by Democrats, aided by watchdog groups funded by liberals, to use the ethics process to try to regain power. More at link.
