'States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash' by Monica Davey appeared in the NY Times.This article was most likely written to inform American citizens and people who want to know more about President Obama's economic stimulus plan.It discusses what the money in the stimulus package will be used for,and how the leaders of America are reacting to it.
The stimulus package gives money to help build roads and bridges,which will hopefully create jobs.For example,in Missouri,when transportation projects begin they are hoping to create 14,000 jobs. A big controversy in President Obama's plan is over how much money will be given to the education system.Some are wanting more money to go to schools in urban areas,others want more money to go to schools in rural areas.
The plan is not perfect but hopefully,in time,everything will even out and America will get out of the hard times its fallen on.
