Associated Press reports on the death, at age 91, of former Republican Congressman Bud Shuster of Pennsylvania. AP says his “biggest legacy was in the ribbons of highway and the smooth runways he backed in his three terms as chairman of the House Transportation Committee, and his 28 years in Congress.”
Roll Call, in a retrospective on Shuster’s career, describes him as a “congressional power broker whose mastery of earmarked spending and highway projects in the 1990s earned him the sobriquet ‘King of Asphalt.’” Shuster was reelected in 2000, but resigned in early 2001 after receiving an ethics rebuke and loosing his chairmanship on account of a Republican caucus term limit rule.
