Friday Fish Wrap: March 5, 2010
Friday, March 5, 2010 at 20:27 For all those nay-sayers here in Northern Nevada trying to peddle the nonsense that Harry Reid can’t bring home the bacon - jobs, now - here’s just another way of saying ‘balderdash’:
Senators Reid and Ensign have announced that $5 million of funding would be coming to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport for needed upgrades to the airports ramp. The idea is to keep this airport viable for tourist and business traffic well into the future. All said, this means some 200 well paying construction type jobs, in addition to supplies and materials purchased from local business.
Furthermore, for those who hate everything about the federal government: Here’s a news flash - that money comes from the Department of Transportation. Another one of those nasty federal agencies.
Let’s just say that the likes of Sue Lowdan is right when she claims that private enterprise can handle it all.
