Port Road Extension - Yale Avenue to Sheridan Road

$25mm a mile!!!???  Was that figure before or after Martinez quit PW? I'm in the wrong business.

You get $250k for AmTrak feasability and $42mil for Urban Rail Infrastructure. Let me know how the Urban Rail works out, I think we may have gotten ripped off here to the tune of $300mil.

The package was what? About 500 bill? (not including the tax part) And Oklahoma got less than 2 of that? Interesting.

Oklahoma $1,613.

We do OK in our take.  Considering it was a Democratic bill and we are among the most Republican states, it looks rather fair.

Our fair share would be $4,502,000.00 dollars from every man, woman and child in Oklahoma.   The stimulus is to convert any money that the working poor might get to perks of a runaway bureaucracy.   We are over the cliff in free fall and there is no way we can ever pay our present debts.  

We need to start printing the $1,000 and $500 dollar bills to save paper and  ink.
