Lawmaker suggests that stimulus money pay for mansion restoration

What?!? Yes, apparently Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Steve Ogden, R-Bryan wants to use Texas' federal stimulus money to repair the governors mansion. You can find the full article here on the Statesman's website. Now lets not jump to conclusions, Steve Ogden is just inquiring about the stimulus money. He just wants to know if this could be a possibility. I guess he believes restoring the mansion is more important than education, health care, child care, homelessness...I could go on and on here.
