Assignment #4 T.Sewell

The article “States and Cities Scramble for Stimulus Cash” was written by Monica Davey with reporting from Robbie Brown, Michael Cooper, David M. Herszenhorn, and Robert Pear. It was published in the New York Times on February 16, 2009. Ms. Davey is speaking to all citizens of the Unites States in an effort to remind us that the stimulus package, while almost approved, will not readily be available and will not take care of every need on the State or City level. It is most likely that the states that need the money the most will receive more. All states will not receive the same amounts of stimulus money and the states that are not in a deficit are worried about being punished for managing their money well. Let the fighting begin!
