In the article "States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash" talks about how President Barack Obama's stimulus package. The article was written by Monica Davey for the NY Times on February 16th 2009. In it she states the concern among many governors and majors of each state about how the money is going to be spent and who is going to spend it. The article is directed towards American people and all 50 states of America.
It talks about how many states plan to take the money to help make jobs or spend it on Medicaid and education. In Missouri, The Department of Transportation plans to prepare 34 transportation projects that will promise 14,000 jobs. The American Association of State Highway says that they have 5,000 ready to go jobs but do not have any money to help fund the projects. Maybe some of the money could go to help with or to also create more jobs so people can get back to working. This will help to put our economy back on track.
