<p>[UA</a> approves $150 million bond to pay for projects | TuscaloosaNews.com](<a href=“http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20101105/NEWS/101109795/1007/news?Title=UA-approves-150-million-bond-to-pay-for-projects]UA”>http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20101105/NEWS/101109795/1007/news?Title=UA-approves-150-million-bond-to-pay-for-projects)</p>

<p>But how is UA going to get more federal money with the current debt situation, and the Republicans claiming that they want no more earmarks? Shelby cant do it alone. I just hope Witt’s new goal is not dependent on federal earmarks. But I suppose there are other sources of federal funding.</p>

<p>Glad to hear that Russel Hall will be renovated. Hope they convert its design to be more harmonious with the rest of the campus.</p>

<p>This is a bond, so it’s nothing to do with federal spending. </p>

<p>As to the ending of earmarks, I don’t want to get political, but I have my doubts that the Republicans will literally put their money where their mouth is.</p>

<p>Either way, UA is set so long as Shelby is the Senate, which according my sources, he plans on for as long as he is physically able to.</p>
