A little R & R

Recovery and Reinvestment, of course.

The White House released a 102-page report that breaks down the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan state by state. You can download the full report here.

Some highlights for Illinois:
*creating 157,700 jobs over the next 2 years (not sure how they came up with that number?).
*providing a "making work" tax cut of up to $1000 for 4,890,000 worker (ooh, I hope one of them is me!).
*and, providing funding to modernize at least 412 schools in IL
