———what happened to all the stimulus money? -——
Money is fungible. When thrown in the pot stimulus money can’t be distinguished from ordinary money.
Tennessee has a very good policy for mantaining Interstate hiway surfaces. The DOT has a rotational resurfacing program about every five years for sections ten or twelve miles long. The stimulus money was thrown into the pot for regular maintenance and for about a year the resurfaced segment had the stimulus sign. The signs are all gone now.
Interesting. There needs to be more transparency and accountability for how government money (at all levels) is spent. The congress and state legislatures should do a better job of oversight and reporting to the people IMO.
