Yesterday in the WSJ there was an article listing what the Council of Mayors wish list was re: the federal economic stimulus package. On the city of Austin's list was a SIXTH frisbee golf course costing almost $1,000,000 of federal taxpayer's money that we already don't have and will have to work to pay for. Read the editorial in today's Austin Statesman to see some other ludicrous requests.
You do not want to hear the rant that's in my head right now. I hope the butterflies of Florida and the doggies in California will be very happy.
