In the news article "States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash" written by Monica Davey, she talks about the fight over the newly passed stimulus package. The article appeared in the New York Times and was written to show the American people what the plan is for spending the stimulus money. projects were already being planned long before the money was given to any particular thing. "Because the effectiveness of any stimulus plan depends on the money being quickly spent, whether state and local governments can work through the rules and resolve any disputes will have a large impact on the success Mr. Obama’s plan has in lifting the economy."
So now the question is, How will the money be distributed? Should most be given to road construction or to education or should it go towards health care? All over the country governors are re-writing there budgets to secure more money for future projects. And hopefully with the new stimulus bill and the budgets changes it will not be long before we see a change in the economy.
