I’d like to know what projects you object to: feeding hungry children, the Environmental Protection Agency, Head Start, rural electrification (this time with solar panels), Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, water quality, Covid vaccinations and tests, the CDC, the Consumer Protection Agency? Please let me know

Well… if I must. We had a democratic governor I forget which one who was able to use federal funds along with CT funding to build what we called the “bus Lane to no where.” It runs along the railroad tracks from Hartford to New Britain and creates a bus lane between primarily these two cities about 10 or so miles apart. Mind you, we already had street buses servicing these communities. But someone got a brainy idea to waste 7 billion dollars of mostly federal money just because it was available to build this virtually useless Lane. A republican would never have wasted such monies. More recently, Biden’s Build Back Better initive replaced adequate lighting poles along a stretch of local highway with huge huge posts and horizontal extenders. It was unnecessary. So these are two examples of many many wasteful projects that only democrats would spend on. Which is why unions heavily donate to mostly democratic candidates. Hello? Come on, remove the blinders. We do waste a lot. I know you heard of the bridge to no where but that one may have been a republican owned project.
