Assignment#4 J.Mikles

Monica Davey's article, in the NY Times, entitled "States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash," is about just that; everyone is scrambling to get a piece of the pie. As expected the tensions are rising and political battles are expected across the map. I don't think that was ever a secret. I believe the public knew that fights were going to arise and I think that Monica gives great examples of them in her article. She takes a neutral stance, lays out just the facts, and explains her thoughts in an easy to read way, which is what I liked about the article.
I think that since her article was easy to read and related very well to our present economic situation, it would benefit the public to read it.
