We have an underpass for the railroad that we approved bonds to build. When I went across the tracks a couple of weeks ago there was stimulus sign and the city sign about the bond issue was down. I went HUH? A week later the city sign was back up saying it was being paid for by the bond issue we passed.
Never have found out who put up the stimulus sign but it was a LIE!
I know what you mean. I took a drive into NM today and almost any road project I went by had a stimulus sign. The thing is, some of these projects have been going on for years, well before any stimulus.
And I think another factor is, NM and OK both have Dem Governors. I have no doubt they are probably just putting up signs wherever there is a construction project to make it look like the stimulus is doing so much.
Expect to see a whole lot more of them from next July 4th through election day!
Here in my town (Salisbury, NC) they are replacing the perfectly good grass at the National Cemetery with sod. The project will not create any permanent jobs. I looked on the stimulus watch website and didn’t see the project listed. I’m going to call the local newspaper and see if they know anything about it.
