Tracking Your Taxes: Park Pork?
February 9, 2010 - 12:05 PM | by: William La Jeunesse
If
you are hoping to visit the newest crown jewel in America's park system
chosen by Congress, throw away the car keys and open up your wallet.
The 2,900 pristine acres of beachfront property were not cheap -- or
even in the United States.
The property soliciting accusations of
"pork" from critics is the Castle Nugent National Historic Park. It's
in the U.S. Virgin Islands, about a thousand miles from Miami and an
expensive jet ride to get there.
Two weeks ago, on a near party line vote, a
huge Democratic majority in the House agreed to spend $50 million to
buy the former cotton plantation on the island of St. Croix.
