Follow TURFStimulus waste: money spent on boat garage instead of needed road projects!
Watch this news story that describes almost unimaginable waste of stimulus money. Not only did the tour boat program get established with $9 million in road taxes, (where even federal agencies pitched a fit over congestion mitigation money being used for tour boats in the Woodlands yet TxDOT prevailed), but also the area's congressman, Kevin Brady, implored the feds NOT to spend yet more money on the water taxis (using $750,000 in federal stimulus money to build a boat garage for the taxis) for something that's not even a legitimate road project, and yet the money still got allocated to such waste!
With such horrifically misplaced priorities of our road money, why on earth would taxpayers EVER agree to higher taxes?
