The New York Times had a story a few days ago lamenting the effect losing Tom Daschle had on Wakpa Sica, a project that has succumbed to the criticism of government earmarks. SDWC asks "Aren't there more stakeholders in this than the federal government?":
I think Wapka Sica is important. So important that the stakeholders shouldn’t wait around for the federal government to “make it happen.” Even with the “vaunted” Tom Daschle’s help, I don’t think the tribes can point to much good that’s ever come from the federal government’s promises of economic development help.
Indeed.
