Mike Castle Takes Credit For Stimulus Project He Voted Against
Crack reporting by WDEL’s Jim Hilgen leaves out the fact that Mike Castle voted against funding the AMTRACK stimulus project that he is so eager to take credit for.
Stimulus money at work in Delaware
By Jim HilgenState and federal officials from Delaware will celebrate the first project completed with federal stimulus funds.
An Amtrak train car, refurbished using stimulus money at the Amtrak shop in Bear will be unveiled on Monday.
Governor Jack Markell will be joined by Senator Tom Carper and Congressman Mike Castle in putting the rail car into service.
As a result of nearly 60 million dollars in federal stimulus funds, Amtrak’s Bear facility has added more than 50 new employees to rehab 60 passenger rail cars between now and February 2011.

Of course, did we expect anything different?
No, but I really hope that some reporter at this event asks him about this.
I keep hoping that. Somehow it fails to register as significant with any Delaware reporters that Castle voted against the projects that he keep staking credit for.
Or….reporters are asking him about the disconnect, but that is being edited out the stimulus stories.
A reporter ask a challenging question? I’m not holding my breath.
