Mhutcheson assignment #4

The article "States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash written by Monica Davey for the New York Times, is discussing how states and cities are going to delve into the funds from President Obama's stimulus bill.  The article was most likely written for the readership of the New York Times, but I also saw it show up on Yahoo! News.  

The article is discussing the political game that will take place for the funds of the stimulus bill.  The game will be played by states vs. other states, and presumably the cities in those vary states.  The political jockeying is already occuring, with Governor Sanford of South Carolina saying he will refuse some or all of the funds, and Governor Schwarezenger of California saying he will take any money from Governors or Mayors who refuse the money to help combat his states massive budget shortfall.  Governors in Georgia and other states have infrastructure projects ready to go awaiting funds. North Carolina and Arkansas Governors are worried about education funding.  The list goes on and on of the games being played for the stimulus funds, only time will tell who gets what.
