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 workersAmong 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.
