Connecticut slow to spend stimulus funding

Unions: Connecticut slow to spend stimulus funding

Quote:
HARTFORD, Conn. — Some Connecticut labor leaders and construction industry representatives are complaining that the state has gotten off to a slow start in using hundreds of millions of dollars in federal stimulus to jump-start transportation projects.

With summer winding down, they say it's clear any significant job creation won't happen until 2010.

"Frankly, it's lost," Don Shubert, president of the Connecticut Construction Industries Association, said of the construction season. "You won't see the impact that everyone anticipated with this (federal stimulus) bill until next year."

The state leaders in gov are probably licking their chops trying to figure out how to "divert" a chunk of it for un-authorized usage before handing it over for it's intended purposes....
