Even the so-called turtle tunnels in Florida that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) railed against Dont tell the people of Kentucky they need to finance every turtle tunnel and solar-panel company on some bureaucrats wish list in order to get their bridges fixed were not frivolous but a significant safety issue as turtles and wildlife were getting flattened by cars as they tried to cross the road. Coburn said this project will require $6 million more to finish, when in reality, the project was finished in September 2010 and came in under budget at $3 million.
