kentucky almost three years ago now. the replacement for the brent spence bridge has still never been built. engineers say it is safe to drive on, but really it s kind of a mess. it s getting old for a bridge. it carries twice as much traffic every day as it was designed for. it is functionally obsolete. and so officials in ohio and kentucky are still trying to figure out some way to build a new bridge. to replace this old one that is functionally obsolete. that kind of project is the kind of thing that senator mitch mcconnell in kentucky he really used to specialize in that. bringing home federal money to kentucky for projects like that. you can basically walk all across the state of kentucky and never not be standing on something that s named for mitch mcconnell because he brought the money to the state to pay for it. senator mitch mcconnell built his whole career on making sure that kentucky got its share or more than its share of federal money.
