Nancy Boyda must have known the prison story was going to look bad, because the same day it came out, she wrote a column for her website explaining her support for more money for real prisons. The column was clearly a "rush job" with at least two errors that would have been found by someone spending any time editing it (I have a screen shot of it in case she goes back in to fix it now). It was also not timely. She simply was using it to try and give herself political cover as the letter had been sent by Boyda on June 11, 2007 - three and 1/2 months earlier.
It also begs the question, why use your political capital to get an earmark for a prison museum when you should have been using it to fix what you say is broken in federal prisons? A question Nancy never answered when asked on WIBW.

the earmark for lansing is a good thing in a county nancy needs to win. 'nuff said.
she will have to do a lot more than $100,000 to get the military to vote for her after she walked out on a retired general.
dude. nobody cares.
I assume the "nobody cares" comment was about her walking out of the general's briefing. You really think the average Kansan doesn't care about that? Of course, since few media outlets in this state actually reported what she did, most Kansans don't know about it. I'm pretty sure, however, that voters in the Fourth District will learn tomorrow that Todd Tiahrt hates kids and wants to deny them health care.
no, no one cares about the $100,000 for the muesum
They might care if they knew she originally asked for $1.2 million.
in a budget of Trillions? i don't care..my question is why isn't she bring home MORE money to kansas?
She's too busy giving it all to Murtha and Mollohan for their corrupt "foundations" that are run by their families and/or contributors.
What about Ryun's $500 billion cost overrun on Iraq? He said that it was going to cost $50 billion, and we're already in excess of $600 billion. (Not to mention, he said we were going to win and now it's pretty obvious that we're going to lose).
The Republicans have zero right to be critical of Democrat spending. Their war in Iraq was the single worst and most wasteful financial decision in US history. If these guys were real fiscal conservatives, they at least would have figured out how much the war was going to cost before voting on it.
For anyone to suggest that it is possible to predict the cost of a war on terrorism is an absolute idiot. Ryun never predicted the war would cost only $50 billion.
oh yes he did!
Prove it...
