  Kentucky has been at war with the rest of the US since the last Civil War; they keep electing the worst and do everything they can to sabotage the rest of the country. 
  I feel less upset reading about aid ending up in Taliban hands, they only wish they could be as damaging - and they have a better excuse.
context: Is the funding for this from the infrastructure bill that McConnell did not vote for?
  Edit: McConnell's republican friends. >
  
  McConnell voted for the bill. >
  
  Noted, thank you. Still wish the article would say where the federal funds were from. >
  
  
  The two states coordinated to request funding under the bipartisan infrastructure deal signed last year by President Joe Biden, a Democrat who had touted the project while the legislation was under consideration. >
  
  I’m from the area and this has been a pain point for years—decades even. They even proposed tolls and paid parking to pay for it, iirc. It was left sitting because Ohio doesn’t own the bridge and Kentucky didn’t wanna pay for it. 
  Fucking hate red states.
  PS: driving over that bridge is hell. too many cars going fast as fuck and driving like assholes. No shoulder. It especially sucks when you live in KY but work in OH & you gotta drive on it every day. >
  
  But I thought conservatives hated socialism and government handouts.
