President Biden has asked what could be cut from his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, and Senate Republicans have an answer: Start with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s $100-million-plus “tunnel to nowhere.”
The relief package, which the House approved on a party-line vote on Saturday, includes money for phase-two drilling of a subway tunnel for the Bay Area Rapid Transit system in the Silicon Valley, near Mrs. Pelosi’s district in California. Ground hasn’t been broken for the project.
“An earmark to help cover the cost of Big Tech’s subway construction costs has nothing to do with combatting COVID-19,” said Steve Kelly, spokesman for Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee. “It doesn’t help one person get the vaccine or boost testing capabilities.”
