Steny Hoyer - Utica Event (Video)

Steny Hoyer had an uncomfortable encounter with upset taxpayers, including a very vocal registered Democrat, at an event in Utica, New York.

From WKTV:

Congressman Arcuri announced $5 million in extra funding for high speed rail in New York State.

Arcuri says the money has been put aside for the smaller phases of the whole project, like signals, and crossings. The $5 million is over and above the $8 billion in funding that was part of the stimulus bill.

Arcuri says right now he, and the other proponents of high speed rail, aren't sure what the costs will be to put a rail line through New York State.

Congressman Michael Arcuri brought the House Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer, to Utica on Tuesday, to talk about funding for high speed rails.

However, when Hoyer took to the podium, upset taxpayers interrupted his speech, upset with government spending.

Here's the video.

**sarcasm on**

Why are all these people upset? It has to be paid Mob's that Rove and Cheney are putting up the cash for. No one could willfully say anything against the blessed administration right? (if they do, please report them isnitch@whitehouse.gov).

I mean look at all the Obama has done! He saved the environment! He saved the Economy!

All these dissenters need to be censored! Jobs? who needs jobs! You have free healthcare, extended jobless benefits and Stimulus money on the way!

After all Joe Biden wouldnt lie
