AZ Gov Brewer must be trying to compete with Palin for being "outdoorsy". Rather than spend money for human medical care, she wanted to build a bridge for squirrels. The story is all too common and sad.


3.) Use a portion of savings from recently cancelled “squirrel bridge” - $1.25 million
Arizona planned to spend $1.25 million to save 250 squirrels, but won’t for 98 humans.

* 6/17/10 ABC News, “Arizona Spends $1.25 Million to Save 250 Squirrels - Rope Bridges Expected to Save 5 Squirrels a Year From Being Road Kill”
* Cancelled the next day, after becoming a focus of national ridicule.
* AZ still has these funds available for human roads at their discretion.
* Offset state funding of ADOT by $1.25 million and use for transplants.

Of course the whole story isn't being told. The particular species is endangered and the money is federal and meant for highways. You can't redirect it to people awaiting transplants. Like Iraq the liberals don't really care about the issue or the people affected. It's just a half truth to score political points.

OKAY, let me get my breath!!!! Eeker First we had communist TEABAGGERS on this forum wanting to start collective farms; NOW Ronnie P is a TEABAGGER who is concerned with an endangered species! Confused Is this bordering on an enviromentalist? Only on THIS hypocritical forum would you find a TEABAGGER defending an endangered species, especially when it is convenient!!!!!!!!!!

Most the time it never is. Research for ones self on everything is key and wise.

If this had been a demo Governor, Demos would have been praising in the streets for the little Squirrels lol

I use to know a recipe for roasted squirrel, Any one have a good one?

Well, for one Sarah Palin calls herself a "Mama Grizzly". That equates her with an animal who has fur and travels on all fours. A smaller version of the same mammel would be a squirrel. And after all, Sarah Palin is regarded by a large majority in America as being a little "squirrelly" Big Grin I hope all you FOXOPHILES noticed the seven degrees of seperation technique used prevenantly in all stories related to anything Obama does or says in this reference.

Did you even read the article you posted?

"Where does this $1.25 million come from?
“Halikowski did not specify how the $1.25 million would be used now, but said in his statement ‘if necessary, the department will forfeit the $1.25 million project cost and return the funds to Washington, D.C.’ rather than spend it on squirrels.”

“Arizona receives resources each year for enhancement projects like this one as part of their Federal Highway grant money, but it is up to the Arizona Department of Transportation to decide how to use the money.”
- June 18, 2010 ABC News Story by John Wetenhall, “Arizona Cancels $1.25M Bridge for 250 Squirrels”"

The funds were federal funds and couldn't be reprogrammed for medicaid without Congressional approval.

Old dog juan hunt, is this all you can do! Its pitiful! From Bush syndrome to Palin syndrome, even though she had nothing to do with this!

So you're OK with poor folks dying because "it keeps the paperwork correct?". AZ received about $900million in stimulus funds and cant account for $40million of those funds.

Palinism is the GOP trait of trying to appear folksy and in touch with the common man. Expect Romney and Pawlenty to adopt that trait very soon.

Report what, that you are cheering on the shooting of a congresswoman. Considering the level of depravity by b50m, her sidekick Jennifer and the rest of you republicans, I am about sick of even associating with any of this.
So knock yourself out. I am really tired of dealing with the scum of the earth on this forum.

Your retort makes no sense and is devoid of logic. You attempt to obfuscate by calling me a heartless being. Put simply, there is no way the federal funds canceled could be used for medicaid without an act of congress. It would be a felony -- a violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act.

What does the stimulus bill have to do with anything! Again, obfuscation, a call to emotion with no facts. By law, I doubt the funds could be used for medicaid. Perhaps, if they were used to control the border, more state funds would be free for medicaid as there would be fewer illegals to spend the funds upon.

Juan, never attempt logical debate in public, you'll just be a laughing stock!

I've reported rocky so much my report button is getting faded. His rants and hate seem too close to the rants of the Arizona shooter.
