As you can see, this article came directly from the Tennessean, one of the most left leaning newspapers anywhere. The author leads the reader to believe that the cut was from stimulus funds. If that is not the intention why even mention the stimulus package at all? The rest of the article, past the quote above, says that a TDOT engineer has suggested the state find their own funding by levying additional taxes. So was the stimulus intended to help employment by funding infrastructure construction? Why does giving $500M from one plan but not funding (cutting) $250M from another not just another bait and switch? So we all fund the stimulus, have funds cut from another area, and get stuck paying for improvements from additional taxes. That's not fair and certainly not balanced, especially when we see how our federal tax dollars are spent to buy health care votes.
