[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 717726, member: 12952"] The Sunday Herald reported yesterday that taxpayer spending on a shrine being built to Kennedy in Dorchester has ballooned to $38.3 million since Kennedy’s Aug. 25 death. The money comes from earmarks slipped into a variety of federal agencies by Sen. John friend. Kerry and Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Malden). The powerful Bay State pols want to boost the total outlay to $68 million before the end of this year. Some $28.9 million of that would be siphoned from the Defense Department budget alone - money the backers of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate at Columbia Point say is justifiable because the institute will sponsor programs for the children of military veterans. Critics of government boondoggles criticize the taxpayer expense, noting that the Kennedy family and its friends are wealthy and connected enough to raise what they need privately. [/QUOTE]
