Democrats in the U.S. House have released a draft of the economic stimulus package designed to get our economy moving again.
Several aspects of the package would immediately benefit Michigan and Livingston County>. Money to increase the federal share of the Medicaid program would help out the state budget. Money for road and bridge construction would help Livingston County's backlog of road projects. Funds to repair schools, increase food stamp payments, and on and on.
There are even funds for mass transit, which Livingston County might have benefited from had our county commission moved ahead with the commuter line to Ann Arbor, known as WALLY.
I'm wondering how Mike Rogers will figure out a way to vote against this.
