WASHINGTON, Nov 16 (Reuters) – Mandatory funding for two controversial bridge projects in Alaska — including the ridiculed “bridge to nowhere” — has been stripped from a federal spending bill, a congressional committee said on Wednesday.
In an unusual move to change “pork” spending, House-Senate negotiators removed the $432 million in required spending during final talks on a yearly bill to fund programs for the Transportation and Treasury departments, the House Appropriations Committee said.
As a compromise, Alaska will still receive the money that had been set aside for the bridges to spend as it likes on transportation needs.
Congressional negotiators were under pressure from lawmakers and fiscal watchdogs to address concerns about mandatory spending on pet projects. The bridges had become symbols of egregious spending during an era of record budget deficits.

Me: A certain Alaskan I’m married to greeted the news with a certain bittersweet shock. On the one hand she’s delighted the war on pork is showing some progress. On the other hand, she explains, “It kind of makes me mad. They’re doing to [Don Young and Ted Stevens] what they would never do to that Klansman [from West Virginia].”
