$2 Million for the 120 Bypass

We got some good news yesterday from our Congresswomen Melissa Bean on the 120 bypass. She was able to get the 120 CPC $2 million for the Phase 1 study in the form of a fiscal year 2007 Federal earmark. The picture is from the press conference where Congresswomen Bean announced the earmark. In the picture I am talking a little about what the congresswomen has done for transportation in the 8th district. She has delivered $30 million for her district which encompasses parts of 4 counties, but $16 million of it has been here in Lake County! There was a nice crowd of Mayors, County Board Members, media and the general public! The Daily Herald had an article about it here, and the News Sun covered it here.
