Well..Trump wields an axe that cuts all people..err...all poor people.
But the irony is thick here..as their local Congress-critters refuse to answer questions as to why they voted to F'k their constituents.
In St. George, a short drive from Zion National Park’s stunning views and sandstone cliffs, the $87.6 million would have helped address the increasingly busy interstate highway that bifurcates the rapidly growing city. Residents in the area voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2020 and 2024. But now they’re feeling the impacts of Republicans’ quest to scrub the government of Biden-era programs that conflict with Trump’s priorities.
“There’s a 2-mile stretch of that highway where you can’t get through,” said Jimmie Hughes, a Republican City Council member in St. George. The project “really was an answer to a lot of congestion. It’s a little bit heartbreaking, but we’re not giving up.”
Hughes said his city may have been in a “baby out with the bathwater” situation.
Spokespeople for Utah Republican Sens. John Curtis and Mike Lee didn’t respond to a request for comment. Nor did one for GOP Rep. Celeste Maloy, who represents the St. George area and, like the senators, voted for the recent domestic policy law.
Maloy heralded the bill generally when it cleared the House, counting the fact that it “rescinds wasteful IRA dollars” as among the “many wins for Utah.”
