Obama Administration Awarded Hundreds of Thousands in Airport Grants to Stupak’s District Two Days Before Vote

Was this Yet Another Backroom Deal to Force Obama’s Bill Down the American People’s Throats?

Three airports in the district of infamous fence-sitting and ultimately kowtowing Democrat Bart Stupak were awarded $726,409 in grants by the Obama Administration just two days before a vote on Obama and Pelosi’s government takeover of healthcare.

Did Stupak compromise his supposed principled stand against taxpayer funding of abortion in exchange for taxpayer dollars for pet projects?

Alpena County Regional Airport received a $85,500 grant, but had only 7,519 passenger boardings in 2008 (the most recent year for which there is information) according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data. Alpena County Regional Airport serves fewer passengers than even the late Rep. John Murtha’s famous “Airport for Nobody.”

Delta County Airport has even less customers than that, but still received a $179,209 grant.

Chippewa County International Airport received a $461,700 grant, but had only 13,733 passenger boardings in 2008.

Will Stupak come clean about this apparent backroom deal for his vote?

Call Stupak’s district office at (989) 356-0690 and ask.

No, but it is the most recent to be reported, to my knowledge.

You're spending too much. A buck fifty in nickels.

That works too. I think the postage would be a bit more though. Hmm.

None of the coins are silver, he wouldn't get it.

I've kept a velvet bag of 30 silver half-dollars sitting around for 20 years, just in case someone betrays me enough to warrant it.

I'll gladly do it for the coins. Give me some dirt and somebody who shouldn't know it.

The weirdest experience I've ever had in an MMO was when 3 different people -- hours apart, and with me logged in to different chars -- each begged me for exactly 30s on the same day.
