These reporters really need to look around because on our trip to Florida in December we say at least 6 projects that had signs up stating they were part of the stimlus projects and I did not see any robots running those earth movers.

Better check that yourself, kenn. Any projects you saw in December were likely projects issued and awarded during the US fiscal budget year, which ends/starts on October 1st. Any federal monies for stimulus on existing highway projects are from the Bush budget that just ended then; unless any projects you saw had actually just begun.

 

US highway projects receiving federal funds take a long time to advertise for bids, receive bids, annpounce the low bidder, award the project, and actually start the project. I have never seen that happen in less than two months. So I highly doubt you saw any Obama stimulus highway projects as of December. Besides, the federal budget has not been finished by October 1st in quite some time.
