Graham’s earmark: $12M for highway to South Carolina beaches

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Sen. Lindsey Graham is pushing for federal funding to construct a new interstate in South Carolina, connecting I-95 to Myrtle Beach.

The Republican tells The Associated Press on Tuesday he’s formally requesting $12 million to revive a project that’s been delayed for decades. Graham’s earmark would fund the acquisition of rights-of-way for the project.

The highway project was on a list of requests submitted to the Republican earlier this month by the Horry County Council.

Four decades have passed since Congress first required a study for Interstate 73.

8. Remember when Hastert got the acquisition of rights of way funded for a road

Turned out he had bought up much of the property to be acquired himself and then got the fat gubmint payout.

11. Is that where he got his hush money?

Hastert was indicted and convicted in 2015 of financial crimes related to paying hush money to cover up repeated incidents of child molestation before his political career, when he was a high school coach. Hastert was sentenced to 15 months in prison, and related fines and conditions; he was released after 13 months. Hastert became the highest-ranking elected official in U.S. history to serve a prison sentence.

6. If he votes for the bill they should get $6 million

if he and Sen Scott vote for it then they should get $12 million. If neither does, and it doesn't go through Clayburn's district, not one single, solitary cent.

7. Not One Thin Dime If He Don't Vote For It, Sir

How could he possibly want anything to be in a bill he won't vote for?

9. Why didn't Sen. Graham get this funded while his good friend was in the Oval Office?

Prolly too busy trying to hide from antifa.

10. I didn't vote for him and I gave money to his Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison. Nt
