Does Canton Really need this?

From Washington...

Canton -- $1,600,000 to pave Cherry Hill Road, between Canton Center and Haggerty Road.

As quoted from the website of Rep. Thad McCotter, who has yet to commit funds to the pork cutting efforts to take the money from the highway bill and instead give it to those that need it as as result of Katrina (or those that may need it as a result of the potential damage Rita may cause in the next 3-4 days).

Now I know how projects like this work, it's not done by now, I don't even know if it's begun by now - government projects go slow.

Canton is a great place to live, and good people live there, I think we can handle a mile or so of road that isn't in pristine condition to help those who face a danger we never will...

Also...

Wayne - $100,000 to reconstruct one quarter mile stretch of Laurenwood.

Lived here too. I still think we can handle some in discomfort for the sake of those in disaster areas in the South

Mom or Pat - can you answer this for me?
