The Congressman in question is Charles Taylor. I think he really wants the
damn road built and it is more than a shakedown. He got his way in trading
away a part of the Great Smoky Mtn NP to the Cherokees.

BTW Taylor is Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on the
Interior. Don't think that Gail Norton (Interior) and Fran Manilla (NPS)
don't ask "how high" when he says "jump."

Swain County's commissioners did come to their senses a year or so ago when
they opposed the road but asked for the money instead. They know they can do
a lot more for the county with the money in a trust fund than the road will
ever do for economic development.
