Sad we don’t get more credit, isn’t it? In fact, they call us stingy when we refuse to fund something and then they take the credit if we do. I’ve noticed when looking at the state budget for funding they simply say the State funded this program to the tune of this much money, the state funded that program to the tune of that much money. It’s hard to track down how much the taxpayers funded the state through sales taxes, corporate income tax, Obama gifts, fees.

Still, the idea is that he got the state to spend the money on that particular item. Looking back, the purchase over which he got so many in trouble seems like a good buy, just done illegaly.

David for crediting taxpayers

I would disagree with this; the tax-payers were responsible for the funding of the road project. This wasn’t any act of “benevolence” on W.D.’s part. It was part of what he was supposed to do for his district.

No doubt his own ego and arrogance led to his downfall.
