Congress wants 9/11 aid back.

[The Dowager Mod]

WASHINGTON - A congressional inquiry has found New York failed to follow instructions from Congress on the spending of $44 million in Sept. 11 aid and should give the money back or get lawmakers to pass a law allowing the expenditure.

The bad news for New York comes just as the House is considering whether to take back another $125 million in Sept. 11 workers' compensation aid because the state has yet to spend it nearly four years after the 2001 terror attack.

I wonder if they would want it back if Bush had carried N.Y.

No one ever thought Bush would win New York (outside of a landslide), and yet the money was given. There's your answer.

Uh, couldn't New York just spend it?  It seems to me that the problem lies with New York's failure to spend the money.

The convention was put in New York because when it was decided, people thought Bush could win New York.  His approval was still in the 70s or 80s I believe.
