My wingnut representative, Scott Garrett, is nothing if not a loyal Republican. While this particular dispute is taking place in the Senate, I'd be interested to know his thoughts:
high-ranking Senate lawmaker on Tuesday said he try would block federal funding for projects in New Jersey if Garden State officials were to continue objecting to a plan to deepen the Delaware River's main shipping channel by five additional feet, and to 45 feet overall.
"I will do everything in my power to stop anything beneficial to New Jersey, period. I will use everything I have until New Jersey lives up to their commitments," said U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican and third-ranking official in the Senate chamber. "Every single thing that benefits New Jersey in particular I will do everything I can to make sure that it gets slowed down or stopped."
Santorum claims that New Jersey Democrats have reneged on a good-faith deal about the dredging of the Delaware River they made with Pennsylvania officials last year.
Of course, once Little Ricky is booted out on his ass later this year, all this will become moot. Maybe that's what Garrett will wait for. Of course we're hoping HE gets voted off the island as well.
