The Littleton Courier reports that Sen. Greg announced that the 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Bill includes $492,200 for renovation of the Littleton Opera house. There is bad pork and then there is good pork. The Opera house is a glorious three story Victorian clapboard structure, on a commanding site overlooking the Amnoosuc River. It was the town police station, meeting house, and museum up until a busy body structural engineer declared the structure unsafe for human habitation a couple of years ago. The building is dear to the hearts of all of Littleton. The total bill for renovation is a couple of million, much of it raised by the town of Littleton. The $492,200 kicked in by the feds helps, but the town is on the hook for a lot of money too. It isn't a pure gift, it's matching funds.
I am not sure if residents of other states would see the matter just this way...
It does give everyone up here a good warm feeling about Sen. Greg...
