Obama Releases $470 Million for Highway Work - NYTimes.com
The Obama administration will make nearly half a billion dollars available to states to create thousands of construction jobs and fix the nation’s aging infrastructure.…
The money comes from Congressional earmarks from 2003 to 2006 that were provided in the Transportation Department’s budget.…
“These idle earmarks have sat on the shelf as our infrastructure continues to age and construction workers sit on the sidelines. That ends today,” [Transportation Secretary Ray] LaHood said.
So why wasn't this money spent in 2009? Or '10? Or even '11?
Oh, ya think?
