Rehberg Blasts Wasting Money on Stimulus Road Signs

In Montana, we often say there are only two seasons. Winter and Construction. This August, at the peak of Construction Season, I drove almost 3,500 miles around Montana , giving listening sessions. And while its not strange to see road construction in Montana in August, signs telling drivers that the funds for the construction came from the so-called Stimulus were new. These signs provide no jobs or long-term investment in our economy. Instead, they represent the worst of political credit-taking. Whats more, the signs are wrong. The dollars Congress allocates come from taxpayers. In this case, it would have been more accurate to say a project funded by our children and grandchildren. There are better ways to spend millions of dollars. Last week, the Senate had a chance to stop wasting money on these signs, but failed to do so. We can do better in the House. And we must, because Americans deserve better.
