Pelosi deserves $200M for San Francisco park, Dem says: ‘She does more for America' than others in Congress
Republicans derided the proposal for the Presidio near the Golden Gate Bridge as a 'Pelosi payoff' and an 'obvious giveaway'
House Republicans tried in vain Thursday to block a proposed $200 million allotment for improvements to a national park in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco district.
The money would be part of a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill currently being debated on Capitol Hill.
GOP lawmakers proposed a half-dozen amendments to divert the $200 million to other needs but each Republican proposal was defeated by the Democrat-majority House, the Washington Times reported.
One Democrat, U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, defended the allocation for the Presidio, the 1,500-acre park and golf course near the Golden Gate Bridge, claiming Pelosi deserves the money for her hometown because of the hard work she undertakes as speaker, the report said.
Americans’ tax dollars are are not Pelosi’s personal piggy bank!
"This is a Pelosi payoff. This is where somebody puts themselves before their office."
"This is an obvious giveaway to Speaker Pelosi and the powerful elites in San Francisco that support her, and the U.S. taxpayer gets stuck with the bill."
U.S. Rep. Bruce Westerman, R-Ark., noted that members of the Presidio Trust, which oversees the San Francisco park, had contributed nearly $19 million to Pelosi and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, including $1 million in June, the Times reported.
"I know the taxpayers in my district don’t want to fund Nancy Pelosi’s golf course," Westerman told the Times. He noted that Pelosi’s San Francisco district includes some of the highest-priced real estate in America.
