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 park in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco district....
...GOP lawmakers proposed a half-dozen amendments to divert the $200 million to other needs but each Republican proposal was defeated...
...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 ...

The only reason Nancy is still a Congress Critter is to fill her back account
Give the Presidio back to Army
She does more TO America..........
How can you fight something that stupid? That person is a moron and there’s millions just like him.
That’s just what I was going to say.
New homeless park or what?
Yeah, America and SF are so much better with her in charge. (Rolling eyes)
I thought her husband owned property around there?
Or maybe it was Finestein?
$200 million - not for construction of a new park, but for renovations to an existing park. Absolutely outrageous. And how much of this contract work will go to Pelosi’s relatives?
BTW, will it include public toilets so that her constituents can stop relieving themselves on the streets?
Pelosi can’t go out in public anymore because she keeps tripping over her tits.
For what she has done to the country the park should be a toxic swamp.
As long as they are throwing away funny money, the National Historic Landmark know as the Presidio is a good home for some of it.
Those ignorant of history may not agree.
I don’t know why extra fed dollars are still funding the enterprise. I realize a portion is also a Natl Park but 200m seems a lot to preserve 1500 acres of mostly undeveloped land populated by elite, invitation only residents:
“1996
Two years after the Army hands off the Presidio to the National Park Service, President Bill Clinton visits the Presidio. He later signs legislation that gives the autonomous Presidio Trust control over park operations. The bill includes a federal subsidy through 2013.”
“2013
The Presidio budget is balanced with no federal subsidy, meeting the deadline set by Congress in 1996. “The Presidio has been saved as a place for the public,” trust Chairwoman Nancy Bechtle tells The Chronicle. “The threat of its being sold has been forever removed.”

Let Pelosi pay for it herself. It’s a tiny fraction of what she and her husband have stolen over the decades.
she deserves to be melted in LIQUID HOT MAGMA!
$200 million is enough to give every man, woman and child in her district $250. They should be asked which would they prefer: an updated golf course or the cash? I have no doubt how they would respond.
What she deserves is best described in the official motto of Virginia.

No. She is does more TO America than others vin congress.
They’ll live in the toilet.
