The Federalization of main street. Two cities (Allentown & Bethlehem, PA) near me are on it. Divide the $$ with the # of jobs each pork item creates....its sickening.

Any ideas

Submitted by bdunn on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 14:50.

as to why some states received an abundance of the monies? After looking at the list, there were over 100 towns/cities in Illinois which received millions...and quite a few in California. Some states like Arkansas, SC, Kansas, Vermont, received very little. Any rhyme or reason as to why who got what?

Minneapolis, MN

Here, they want: Waterworks, Tunnel Rehabilitation Project-10th Avenue Southeast Tunnel System - The 10th Avenue Tunnel system was built before 1950 and is one of the tunnels we have rated in poor condition.

$1.3 million, creating 20 jobs.

LEAD WATER PIPES IN NEWARK?

Submitted by SteveMT on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 11:15.

This stuff keeps getting better! Does this mean they would have NOT replaced them without the Stimulus Bill?

Newark NJ Water Replacement of Lead Water Services from the Street Water Main to the Water Meter. There are some 12,000 existing lead water service pipes in the City. These services have the potential of having lead leach into the served facilities 12,000,000 - 50

What a post! Ginny: This stuff is unbelieable!

Submitted by SteveMT on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 11:05.

Examples:

A $40M LIBRARY?, A BOATHOUSE?, A $15M FEED MILL ARTS INCUBATOR?, A PUBLIC MARKET?

Madison WI CDBG Yahara Parkway boathouse 3,000,000 - 21
Madison WI CDBG Build a Central Park on Madison's ithsmus 15,000,000 - 84
Madison WI CDBG Garver Feed Mill Arts Incubator 15,400,000 - 87
Madison WI CDBG Public pools at Warner Park and Reindahl 14,000,000 -98
Madison WI CDBG Madison Public Market 18,000,000 -101
Madison WI CDBG Downtown Public Library 40,000,000 -225

Monitoring Cameras:

Livermore CA Public Safety Public Safety Surveillance Equipment
(Parking garages, City facilities and grounds, and public high crime
areas) 1,500,000 - 7

These $ amounts & employment #s in my home state are Unbelievable:

Missoula MT Energy Parks, Development, 82 acre Fort Missoula Regional Park; expand large park environment; kids, health, promote environmental stewardship; reforestation; LEED certified irrigation system; Historic interpretation; Tourism and regional area benefit 20,500,000 - 341
Missoula MT Public Safety City/County Facilities, Downtown Redevelopment Downtown Police Headquarters and County Administrative Building 36,000,000 - 577

Only One "Public Safety" line item for Los Angeles? Does that mean that they already have everything that they need to "control/help" us, in case of a public emergency?

SOME of the Unbelievable $ Amounts for New Orleans Airport Renovations:

New Orleans LA Airport West Terminal Apron - Expansion Airfield Apron to support aircraft operations 10,000,000 - 242

What kind of strings are going to be attached?

Submitted by runforron on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 09:42.

I'm thinking mandated Gun banning, Fema Camp registration/kidnapping of all homeless, senior citizens, orphans, regulated "family planning" (more abortions), curfews, beefing up the police state. Good God, the cities are where they've always herded the dying farms. Are the cities just going to become massive zombie graveyards?

Wow. Grand Rapids

Submitted by Khomar on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 09:20.

Grand Rapids is looking at quite the boost: $254 million and 3934 new jobs.

Go Grand Rapids! ... Oh, wait.

I guess this is the way that they will pacify their opposition. Grand Rapids is a very conservative area with a strong Christian community, but apparently they will give away their liberty for a handout. A recent poll showed this pretty clearly as the those who supported the stimulus package (either completely or if it would "give me a job") outnumbered those who opposed it.

On the plus side, this little boost should make it easier to sell my house as I look for a more self-sustaining farm up north.

Good find Ginny,
