With Recovery Act funding running out, that old TPM favorite \u2014 the anti-stimulus Republican who takes credit for stimulus funding in their district \u2014 is becoming somewhat of a rarity. But Rep. Frank Guinta (R-NH) kicked it old school on Thursday by cutting the ribbon on a new road that received millions from the same spending bill he opposed.<\/p>\n

Guinta spoke at the opening ceremony for Raymond Wieczorek Drive, a new access road connecting various towns to the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Later he posted a picture of the event on his official Facebook page. Other attendees included Gov. John Lynch (D) and New Hampshire House Speaker William O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n
