This is exactly why pork projects are VERY bad idea.

Republicans should respect the agencies wishes and shut down the project and use the $350 million to pay up for what they screwed the poor for - major tax credits, free education for every American child attending schools and much more.

Just because one idiot Republican wants to pocket some cash that doesn't belong to him that we have to suffer for it.
