Busch uses power to get extra money for Authentic Patrice Bergeron Jersey Annapolis | Maryland Gazette | Find Articles Authentic Casey Blake Jersey at BNET
In the waning hours of Athletics Kurt Suzuki Jersey the Maryland General Assembly Authentic Trevor Cahill Jersey session, House Speaker Michael E. Busch used his considerable influence to direct millions of taxpayer dollars Rays David Price Jersey to Rockies Troy Tulowitzki Jersey Annapolis projects, including an aging arts center and a turf Carlos Gonzalez Jersey baseball field Reds Joey Votto Jersey for kids.

Now Busch, a Democrat, is being questioned by Republicans for Bruins Cam Neely Jersey going around the normal budgeting process to help his Patrice Bergeron Jersey home district.
The projects were added during Authentic Aroldis Chapman Jersey a Jay Bruce Jersey joint House-Senate conference committee on the state's capital budget. Anaheim Casey Blake Jersey The Mariners Felix Hernandez Jersey projects were not included in either the original House or Trevor Cahill Jersey Senate Nationals Ryan Zimmerman Jersey versions of the capital budget.
Lawmakers didn't see the conference committee's report until the night of Authentic Ubaldo Jimenez Jersey April 11, the last day of the 90-day General Assembly session.

Bruins Zdeno Chara Jersey "I just sat there Ubaldo Jimenez Jersey in shock. Where Authentic Bobby Orr Jersey was the process?" said Del. Ron George, a Republican, who like Busch Bruins Marc Savard Jersey represents District 30 and the greater Annapolis area. "We went through a lot of work for three months, only to Authentic Troy Tulowitzki Jersey have things that weren't part of the process go through."
According to Busch, the projects Tigers Austin Jackson Jersey include:
Redirecting $600,000 previously set aside Cam Neely Jersey for burying electrical wires in Annapolis to Authentic Justin Verlander Jersey the Maryland Authentic Adam Lind Jersey Hall for Tigers Miguel Cabrera Jersey the Creative Bobby Orr Jersey Arts. Brandon Inge Jersey The money Authentic Brandon Phillips Jersey hadn't been used.
Redirecting $250,000 previously allocated for the Eastport Volunteer Fire Department to Magglio Ordonez Jersey the old Annapolis recreation Evan Longoria Jersey center building Aroldis Chapman Jersey downtown to facilitate redevelopment. The Miguel Cabrera Jersey money Authentic Brandon Inge Jersey hadn't been used.
$350,000 to the Authentic Evan Longoria Jersey Ripken Felix Hernandez Jersey Foundation toward a turf field Bruins Milan Lucic Jersey project for the Boys & Girls Club at Bates Authentic Jay Bruce Jersey Heritage Park.
$1 million for Bates Middle Reds Francisco Cordero Jersey School for improvements to the gym and theater.
$400,000 for Annapolis High School for Authentic Zdeno Chara Jersey upgrades to the field house at the stadium.
Normally, Kurt SuzukiJersey local construction Authentic Milan Lucic Jersey projects like these involve individual Joey Votto Jersey "bond bills" that are drawn up describing the projects. In order to be included in the budget, the proponents have to Mariners Ichiro Suzuki Jersey make their case before Anne Arundel's Adam Lind Jersey lawmakers as Authentic Andrew Bailey Jersey well as the House Appropriations Reds Jay Bruce Jersey Committee.
Or they can be put in the Authentic Andre Ethier Jersey governor's budget Authentic Francisco Cordero Jersey proposal, which is subject to Mariners Ken Griffey Jersey hearings.
On the House of David Krejci Jersey Delegates floor on the evening of Zdeno Chara Jersey April Matt Joyce Jersey 11, Republican Authentic Miguel Cabrera Jersey Del. Herb McMillan tried unsuccessfully to get answers from the Ryan Zimmerman Jersey conference committee about the Maryland Bruins Jersey Hall and Bates Middle projects just before the final Tigers Brandon Inge Jersey vote.
George was beside him, flipping Reds Aroldis Chapman Jersey through Nationals Michael Morse Jersey the budget Michael Morse Jersey documents they had just received and taking calls from other delegates upset at seeing so much money headed to Annapolis.
In an interview, McMillan said he's uncomfortable with the normal process being circumvented. The Authentic Austin Jackson Jersey process Authentic Ryan Zimmerman Jersey assures lawmakers that projects are ready to Nationals Adam Lind Jersey go and the money will be well spent.
"Nobody's arguing that a project David Price Jersey isn't worthy, but it wasn't presented for capital budget Authentic Carlos Gonzalez Jersey funding," he said. "I'm disappointed with Authentic Cam Neely Jersey the process. The legislature is not supposed to be a Authentic Felix Hernandez Jersey one-man show."
But Busch makes no apologies for bringing home Authentic David Price Jersey the Austin Jackson Jersey bacon to the district. Blue Jays Adam Lind Jersey It's part of his privilege as Speaker of the Sam Fuld Jersey House of Delegates, he said.
"Being the presiding Authentic Sam Fuld Jersey officer gives me a little more input into the capital Authentic Bruins Jersey budget," he said.
Busch said the projects are all worthy and some had been trying for years to get state funding.
Two of the projects Rockies Carlos Gonzalez Jersey - Maryland Hall and the Casey Blake Jersey old rec center - are making use of money that hadn't been Brennan Boesch Jersey spent and otherwise would have been dumped back into Athletics Andrew Bailey Jersey the state's general fund.
"I'm proud to support Rockies Ubaldo Jimenez Jersey these projects. You can write Milan Lucic Jersey that with a capital 'P,' " Authentic Todd Helton Jersey Busch said.
Busch said Bates Middle Authentic Ichiro Suzuki Jersey School has an antiquated facility Authentic Marc Savard Jersey that Ichiro Suzuki Jersey officials worry could sidetrack school efforts to become an arts magnet Andrew Bailey Jersey center. Bruins Bobby Orr Jersey And Maryland Hall has struggled to raise money for improvements, such as replacing aging windows, he said.
Busch's wife Authentic Magglio Ordonez Jersey is Authentic Matt Joyce Jersey a member of Maryland Hall's Authentic David Krejci Jersey board of directors. Maryland Hall, Bates Middle and the Rays Evan Longoria Jersey Bates Heritage Park are within a mile of Ken Griffey Jersey Busch's home.
Linnell Bowen, director of Maryland Hall, said the money will Rays Sam Fuld Jersey help kick off a campaign to refurbish the theater, replace Authentic Stephen Strasburg Jersey windows, Bruins Patrice Bergeron Jersey install Authentic Kurt Suzuki Jersey a freight elevator and make other improvements.
Bowen said she had hoped the transfer of Reds Brandon Phillips Jersey money from Bruins David Krejci Jersey the underground wires project to the arts center Clayton Kershaw Jersey would come through, but "I Tigers Magglio Ordonez Jersey didn't know for Authentic Michael Morse Jersey sure until the last day Rockies Todd Helton Jersey of the session because one never knows."
Earlier in the Authentic Adam Lind Jersey session, Busch used his influence to Authentic Joey Votto Jersey nail down $250,000 for Stephen Strasburg Jersey renovating Adam Lind Jersey the Market House in Todd Helton Jersey downtown Annapolis Authentic Ken Griffey Jersey as well as $100,000 Nationals Stephen Strasburg Jersey for a redevelopment project Andre Ethier Jersey on Clay Street - against the wishes of the other local Francisco Cordero Jersey lawmakers.
Busch turned the tables on his critics, pointing out that they voted against the capital budget - both the original version and the revised version, both of which included scores of worthy Authentic Brennan Boesch Jersey projects in Anne Arundel and beyond.
"It didn't seem to bother them to vote against those Athletics Trevor Cahill Jersey projects," he said, adding Tigers Justin Verlander Jersey that when the projects are Marc Savard Jersey finished, "Each of them will find a way to get to the front of Tigers Brennan Boesch Jersey the Rays Matt Joyce Jersey ribbon cutting."
