According to a recent study by Cato scholar Veronique de Rugy reported on NRO here –
On average, Democratic districts received one-and-a-half times as many awards as Republican ones. Democratic districts also received two-and-a-half times more stimulus dollars than Republican districts ($122,127,186,509 vs. $46,139,592,268). Republican districts also received smaller awards on average. (The average dollars awarded per Republican district is $260,675,663, while the average dollars awarded per Democratic district is $471,533,539.)
[3apr2010 update] … but We Do Our Part. County CEO Rick Haffey reported yesterday –
The Management Unit employees voted last week to forgo their 3% raise scheduled for July 1, 2010, instead moving it out to the fiscal year 2012 in order to assist the County during the current economic downturn. As you know, they join the Department Heads and Electeds who will forgo their raise this year, for a second year in a row. In addition, the remainder of the unrepresented employees in the County will also forgo a raise this year.
We commend these employees for their dedication to our organization during these tough economic times.
