In the article "States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus," Monica Davey writes about the newly passing of the stimulus package. This article appeared in the New York Times on February 16th, 2009.
When President Obama passed the stimulus, many state and city officials did not know where to send the money first. With so many people unemployed, much of the money is being focused on employing the unemployed. In smaller cities, it is easier to gear the money towards employment since property is less.
This article is aimed towards the American citizen population in order to inform where and how the stimulus money is being used.
