What Tom Delay Doesn't Want to Give Up

The Heritage Foundation gives a list of some of the things Tom Delay doesn't want to give up:
* $800,000 for regional bicycle routes on existing highways in Austin, Texas;
* $3,820,000 to construct Mission Trails Project Packages 4 & 5 in San Antonio, Texas;
* $1,200,000 for development of one-story 300-vehicle parking facility;
* $750,000 to construct a pedestrian/bicycle trail in the Sunnyside area of Houston, Texas;
* $3,300,000 to build a bike trail at Chacon Creek in Laredo, Texas;
* $7,680,000 for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Trial Network in East Austin, Texas; and
* $1,600,000 to construct landscaping and other pedestrian amenities in segments of the Old Spanish Trail and Griggs Road rights-of-ways.
It seems for those who like big government there's never a good time to cut spending.
