Re: What you people all fail to realize...

Which project is being funded with federal dollars? BS/Cingular call center, or the Lafayette municipal system?

Either way, I think you're mistaken.

The $18m for the BS/Cingular call center all came from Lafayette and Louisiana:

said by the advocate article in the news item:
The concessions include $10 million in state tax breaks, donation of land and the building from LEDA and discounted utilities from LUS, Gothreaux said.
State = Louisiana
LEDA = Lafayette Economic Development Authority
LUS = Lafayette Utilities System

I'm not sure how Lafayette plans to fund the municipal system, but I'd be absolutely shocked if the feds contributed.
