This is badly needed by a public community college to train nurses and allied health professionals in a state with the second shortest life expectancy in the Nation. THANK YOU, SENATOR GRAHAM.

Ms Morris should thank the taxpayers, not Graham. He doesn't contribute a penny. He only takes the money from the rest of us and gives it to Ms Morris

I find it interesting that my response to a post critical of the project was erased from the site. Looks like to me that this isn't at all a forum used for lively debate, but rather someone's grander political agenda seeking to only criticize earmarks.

I see two posts from you; what was removed? Are you sure you didn't fail to scroll all the way? To this point I've not seen any editorialization of comments whatsoever; if so, this is the first instance I've heard of.
