City’s wish list for stimulus money
They’re making their list, and checking it, then rechecking it and rechecking it…
City department heads have been busy trying to prioritize which projects that they’d like to see get funding from the federal economic stimulus program. New information is constantly flowing in from many sources, causing last minute adjustments based on what’s likely to get a green light.
City council has yet to weigh in on the list, which totals more than $100 million for parks, historic preservation, safety services, “green” technology, public utilities and other areas.
The city is working with the LNE Group, a legislative lobbyist, to get the list to the right people. The latest list (click below - Stimulus Project List 2009) was sent out Friday, Feb. 20, with the following message:
Attached is the latest draft of potential projects for consideration of Stimulus funding or other additional funds. There are project listings (with priorities) per category, based on the City Administration recommendation. This information has not been considered or adopted by City Council - these are simply working documents to assist staff in drafting the applications/submissions of the funds in the initial stages of consideration. The information will be reviewed by City Council at their next meeting on February 25, 2009.

When does the madness stop? Stop calling it stimulus money, it’s just federal spending disguised.

If this region gets the shuttle , we have to address transportation also. A passenger train is highly needed! Kasich was wrong to turn down the train money. Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin has changed his mind and now he wants stimulus money for a high speed train for Wisconsin! Train jobs are good paying and cannot be outsourced!
