The National Park Service and the Federal Highway Administration released their final environmental impact study on Tuesday calling for a cash settlement in lieu of building the North Shore Road. Republican challenger for the 11th Congressional seat, Carl Mumpower, has taken an early position against compromising on long standing federal commitments to build the road. "In contrast to Congressman Shuler's position on the North Shore road, I do not believe that the passage of time, surrender to envirojackers, or indulging Tennessee's special interests are an authentic foundation for abandoning our word on this federal promise." "The efforts by officials to cite the waste and risks associated with building the North Shore Road have a lack of authenticity when most folks know the real "Road to Nowhere" runs to the doorstep of Capitol Hill."
