Massachusetts Recovery


Follow this link to see the website that reports on Massachusetts’ use of the Recovery Act money.

At the web site, I found a summary:

Over 25,000 jobs have been saved or created in Massachusetts because of Governor Patrick’s use of federal stimulus funds, including:

* Teachers
* Firefighters
* Police officers
* Construction workers
* Community health care workers

Among other projects, the Governor has also invested:

* Over $430 million in stimulus highway funds obligated to 84 projects.
* Over $800 million for 120 projects repairing municipal wastewater systems.

The Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported:

The state’s Web site reported that about 1,389 full-time equivalent jobs were created and about 3,333 full-time equivalent jobs were retained as a result of the legislation.

I wonder which web site they were reading.
