Residents of Rep. Steve Rothman’s district who wonder where stimulus money is going can find out with a clickable Google map that is linked from the House home page of the Fair Lawn Democrat, rothman.house.gov.
Among the features on the map:
-
amounts that went to numerous school districts, who got federal aid to prevent layoffs or tax increases that would make the recession worse;
-
grants for municipal energy improvements, water system projects, and upgrades at housing authorities;
-
some rather cryptic descriptions of Army Corps of Engineers projects in the district (unless you’re one of those waiting for the corps to tap the FUSRAP for Stepan Burial Pit #10)
-
and the location of transportation projects, which includes my favorite, an icon for the new rail tunnel placed where it should be, in the middle of the Hudson River.
