Dad, thats not true. The leigislation was written behind clsoed doors, most members of congress have barely read it and did not have time, see the Cafferty article I posed under the Stimulus bill thread. The bill just passed the Senate friday night and will be signed by Obama today. Thats not 5 days and the final version has not been available to review. Your links are not to the the final bill.

Here's a short version;
150 million for climate stuff ( to be determined by Democrats later)
2 billion for transportation stuff ( to be determined by Democrats later)
100 no 200 Million for education stuff ( to be determined by Democrats later)
alot of billions for states ( to be determined by Democrats later)
150 million for studies ( to be determined by Democrats later)
Believe it or not that's not to far off from the truth

I'm thrilled! I just found out that they're giving $4 million to Ponkapoag Golf Course to fix the fairways. That's a great way to spend stimulus money!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

From what I understand, they're looking to bring the U.S. Open there in the future. It's actually possible that the $4 mill could be recouped if they did. If they move back to all the original tee placements on course 1, it will play about 7600 + yards. Course 1 is a disaster, but course 2 is pretty decent for the greens fees they charge.

Yes, I think it's operated by the parks and recreation department or MDC.
