To be fair, her constituency was different. If the Feds want to give out
the pork, as a mayor or a governor, you would be a fool not to take it.
However, she could be a little more honest about it. Eventually, she may
have said no to the "bridge to nowhere" but she didn't say no to the
money.
She was for the Bridge toi Nowhere until it became the national symbol
for government gone crazy. Then she was against it. Any way the wind
blows, I guess...
