I don't know if this is good or bad, but at least you can't accuse this mayor of hypocrisy:
Quote:
In what could be a new high water mark of anti-Washington sentiment, the city of Troy, Mich., is rejecting a long-planned transportation center whose construction would have been fully financed with federal stimulus money.The terminal, which would help Troy become a transportation node on an upgraded Detroit-to-Chicago Amtrak line, was hailed by supporters as a way to create jobs and to spur economic development. But federal money is federal money, so with the urging of the new mayor, who helped found the local Tea Party chapter, the City Council cast a 4-to-3 vote this week against granting a crucial contract, sending the project into limbo.
?There?s nothing free about government money,? Mayor Janice Daniels said in an interview. ?It?s never free, and it?s crippling our way of life.?
. . .
The Troy transit center?s construction, by comparison, required no local contribution, and its predicted annual maintenance cost of $31,000 was, in the context of the city?s $50 million budget, ?de minimis,? said Mark Miller, the assistant city manager.
