How Are States Really Using Stimulus Money?

Two great new resources are available with 50 state information on Stimulus-funded projects. The Council of State Government's StateRecovery.org has a report on how states are using the Fiscal Stabilization Fund, the most flexible pot available to state governments in the Recovery package. It looks like Public Safety was the big winner across the country. Another great resource comes from the Democratic Policy Council. The Recovery Act: Success Stories in the States provides examples of local success stories that demonstrate the real-life impacts of the Recovery Act. For guidance on using the Stimulus funding effectively.
