Ernst slams Pelosi's $1B over budget subway expansion, introduces bill barring ‘boondoggle' projects
Fox News
Sen. Joni Ernst is slamming Speaker Pelosi for her San Francisco Bay Area rail expansion project that is more than $1 billion over budget and seeking to bar funding for "boondoggle" transit projects.
"The tunnel being dug for this subway is literally a bottomless pit for taxpayer money," said Ernst in a press release announcing the award. As part of Ernst's commitment to cutting wasteful spending in Washington, the senator shines a spotlight every month on a government agency or members of Congress that are misusing valuable taxpayer dollars by issuing a "Squeal" award.More Related News
