More than $1 out of every $5 of the $126 million Massachusetts is receiving in federal money from the newly passed government spending bill is going to help preserve the legacy of the Kennedys.
List: How Mass. Earmark Money Breaks Down
On the table: $22 million to upgrade the archives at the JFK Library, $5 million for a new gateway to the Boston Harbor Islands on the Rose Kennedy Greenway and almost $6 million to plan and build the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate.
Got that? $33 million out of $126 million (26.2% from my back-of-the-envelope calculations) is going to something with the Kennedy name on it. Apparently they're keeping up with the Byrds...
Wow, with all those million$ in pork pouring into the state, maybe we can forget that measly penny tax increase?
That is all.
