Hey, you remember yesterday, right?
That's when I posted about how Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano was planning on introducing legislation to utilize some American Rescue Plan funding for a law enforcement initiative.
All without mentioning that the ARP made it through the US Congress with absolutely no GOP support.
Does Doug not think that his base will care or check or know that that's demon-crat Biden/Pelosi/Schumer Socialist money?
Remember that blogpost?
Well, take a look at this from Senator Mastriano's legislative website:
I hate to open a blog critique with some petty feeble quibbling, but does anyone else see Doug's glaring error? That vast mountainous bowl of pus error?
I'll give you a hint: Headline reads "$800 million" while the first sentence of the press release reads "$839,000."
Doug Mastriano is off (if my maths are true) by a factor of 1,000. Let's hope Doug's budgetary calculations are more accurate.
But here's a question. How do I know that $839,000 is correct?
Well, my friends, the answer to that leads to my main critique of Mastriano's press release.
First, check the date of the release: March 25, 2020.
Now take a look at this press release from Pennsylvania Governor Wolf. It's dated March 22, 2022 - that's three days earlier (again, if my maths are true):
Governor Tom Wolf today announced the approval of $10 million for 19 projects through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) for nongovernmental entities to deploy middle-mile and last-mile high-speed broadband infrastructure to unserved areas in Pennsylvania through the Unserved High-Speed Broadband Funding Program (UHSB). [Bolding in original.]
And:
Franklin County
- $838,974 to Comcast Cable Communications, LLC to construct wired infrastructure for unserved areas of Metal and Peters Townships.
Is PA State Senator (and GOP candidate for Governor) actually trying to take credit for something that PA Governor actually announced just three days earlier?
Looks like he is.
Isn't there a biblical commandment about bearing false witness?
Yes, there is.
And didn't Doug Mastriano just break that commandment?
Looks like he did.
Oops.
