The CDA Press is answering that polling question to a point. “Officials dole out stimulus funding,” 6 March 2009 edition of The Press.
Coeur d’Alene—A Trickle of federal stimulus funds found its way to Idaho this week. Kootenai County will receive $1.29 million of $18 million in transit funds released Thursday.
The money will go to the Kootenai Metropolitan Planning organization, which will spend $300,000 to replace a pair of City Link buses…
There is an emphasis on mass transit that even I do not make use of. I carpool with my mother when I need to, drive my truck short distances when I must, otherwise, I walk. Wheel chair accessible minivans mentioned in the article I have no objections to, but I have real questions about spending that kind of money on replacement buses when you will still see pretty much the same pool of drivers. It doesn’t do much to add to the jobs creation pool. Looks like an earmark from here.
