Stimulus Money Not Being Spent Swiftly

by Ross Weber — last modified Oct 05, 2009 01:44 PM

GOP blames Administration for fact that "only" 40% of the stimulus has been spent, yet putting most of that money into action requires state action.

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and the state were scolded for the performance in a letter dated Thursday from U.S. Rep. James L. Oberstar, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. States must submit regular progress reports to the committee.

Nationally, 42.7 percent of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act highway funding has been spent building projects so far.
