New Speaker’s District Gets Mad Stimulus Cash

Of course, this is mostly happenstance but, as Jeff Woods explains, it is likely to help Williams politically:

We doubt Williams helped snag this stimulus cash. But that won’t stop him from claiming credit for it, and voters won’t know any better. How much do you think they care now what Robin Smith thinks about their hometown hero? They’re probably already slapping their knees up there around the courthouse square, laughing about how ol’ Kent snookered all the pols in Nashville to bring home the bacon for Carter County. They’ll probably name the new bridge after Williams.
