Stimulus jobs end, Dems bank on extension | TheUnion.com

Nevada City and Grass Valley article about the stimulus impact on District 4 (Rep. Tom McClintock's district)

He voted against a bill that would close the tax loop-holes that encourage Corporations moving jobs overseas.
When someone asks McClintock he sidesteps the answer.

This is any interesting article on our district that got stimulus funds:

Dink Lane wrote a letter to the Mt. Democrat about who got stimulus funds:

El Dorado County received 6 percent of California's stimulus funds ($19.5 Million) The largest portion of the money, over $12.4 million, went to small business loans. Ok, small business loans are good. They keep business open and people working.
Another $475,000 went to Lake Tahoe Community College foundation for financial aid. More people have stopped looking for work and gone back to school, new skills are good.
Three El Dorado County business received $789,000 in government contracts. One company was awarded a contract for "water quality improvements," another got contract for a repair job for the Forest Service, and a third has a vendor contract with the Bureau of Land Management. Ok, private business jobs saved.
A total of $632,000 in financial assistance was awarded to the various law enforcement agencies in the county, El Dorado Sheriff's Office, Lake Tahoe Police and Placerville Police. Looks like it saved several jobs.
The only thing left is the $3 million was set aside for the Forest Service for "Hazardous Fuels Reduction on non-federal property,"
