I'm shaking my head on this one. This Rep. need to rephrase what he just said. I googled info on this Rep. He is older than dirt. He must have forgotten to take his Geritol when he made that statement. He needs a nap. Very insensitive statement to blame the Minnesota bridge victims. He owes that state and the victims an apology.
From Thinkprogress:
Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) thinks the $250 million bill Congress passed to rebuild the collapsed bridge in Minneapolis was a ripoff because it exceeded the normal $100 million limit for emergency relief projects. Said Kanjorski: Minnesotans “discovered they were going to get all the money from the federal government and they were taking all they could get,” he said. They took the opportunity “to screw us,” he said. Congress stipulated that the funds be used for bridge repair.
