The article "States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash", was written by Monica Davey of the New York Times. M.Davey wrote the article to show everyone that their is much concern over what to do with the money from the stimulus package.She directed the article towards the people of the United States, including all fifty states.
In the article she lets us know that each state has no idea how much money they will be getting or how it will be used. Each state and city will have to come up with the much needed ways to spend the money. In the end everything will be left up to the government officials to decide who gets what, and what will be best for each state.
