    Stimulus $$$ to WNY

    Not to bust the TS bubble (he is calling a press conference for tomorrow), Amherst is not the only one getting $$$ to be used for specific items (maybe not for what he would like to use it for). According to WGRZ it is broken down by the following:
    Erie County: $2.963M
    Buffalo: $2.736M
    Amherst: $1.104M
    Cheektowaga: $718,800
    West Seneca: $650,800
    Tonawanda: $544,700
    Hamburg:$187,300

    According to the article the money is suppose to be used to make residential & commercial bldgs, transportation (including traffic signal usage) more energy efficient, strengthen building codes & inspections, etc.

    No. Then it wouldn't be a stimulus. Apples and oranges.
    One beautiful thing about having a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations is that every disaster is measured in terms of economic loss. It's sort of like getting your arm sheared off in a car accident and thinking, "Damn, now it'll take longer to fold the laundry" as blood spurts from your arteries. - The Rude Pundit
