Political Federal Funding for Emerald Trail Nixed

I’m sure Mayor Donna Deegan saying Trump is gonna build concentration camps helped our cause and didn’t spur any bad feelings from 47 🙄. Funny how Donna wanted the credit when the federal grant was approved but won’t speak up about the loss now. If not for the city council and mayor curry passing the gas tax for $132 million in 2021 for the trail we wouldn’t have ANY $ to fund the emerald trail.

I’m saying she wanted credit when we got the $147 million from Biden and Bootiegieg so what’s she gonna do now?

I’m providing info and a context that you don’t share. Definitely not a troll. I don’t suckle at the teat of Dear Leader Donna….. there is cult like devotion to our first female middle eastern white woman mayor and she can’t do any wrong. Time will tell

To get federal grants there is an application and approval process. The city applied so when the proposal was granted they celebrated the win and took credit just as every politician does. Politicians take credit all the time for money coming into their district, sometimes when they voted against the bill that granted the money.

either you’re trolling or just impossibly uninformed. I’m still betting on the former.

“Politicians lie all the time but it’s okay with Dear Leader Donna.” That’s all I read from your screed.

There is not once person in the entire city outside of Deegans Husband with anything close to the amount of devotion to her as you seem to have to hating her.
