A BBA High Five for Senator Feingold.
Yes, that is right!
Senator Feingold was one of 15 senators who voted against tabling the Coburn Amendment. In fact a quick scan shows Senator Feingold was the only Democrat voting to keep the amendment alive (Corzine did not vote).
Quick summary, the Coburn Amendment would have rescinded the appropriation of funds for Alaska's infamous Bridge to Nowhehere (Too bad, if we had known they needed one, Milwaukee could have sold theirs for a deal). The money thus saved would be reallocated to reconstruction of a bridge in Louisiana that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Don't worry, this high-five is not a hearty Packer-TD high five but a you did good for once high-five.
Here is the roll call on the vote.
