So let me get this straight. We received $16,800,000 in fall 2009 in the form of stimulus money (i.e. taxpayer’s money) and are going to use this for water/flooding projects and the like. My question is why does a taxpayer who lives in New Mexico or Kansas or Rhode Island, etc. have to give their hard-earned tax money to the government so they can decide how it should be spent and where? Shouldn’t this be a county or state issue instead of a National monetary one? How are other people from other states supposedly going to benefit from this? They don’t even know where Sugar Grove, IL is?! Now Altman maybe YOUR partison politics is in the wrong place. We are broke because of stuff like this from our current administration.
