Stimulus Opportunities in Washington State
About: Program Contacts
Another thing i'm interested in is the $60 million weatherization grants.
The state will distribute to local energy programs. The income eligibility threshold is lowered from 150 percent to 200 percent of the federal poverty level, and the limit on the amount of assistance is increased from $2,500 to $6,500.
About this item: This is for tracking how the stimulus affects Washington state and our city of Renton. If you have any specific information about Washington state projects by all means post it here. This item is not for posting generalized observations about the stimulus and those kind of comments will be summarily deleted.

Mr. Obama's comments yesterday are a perfect illustration of just such a claim. In the months since Congress approved the stimulus, our economy has lost nearly 1.6 million jobs and unemployment has hit 9.4%. Invoke the magic words, however, and -- presto! -- you have the president claiming he has "saved or created" 150,000 jobs. It all makes for a much nicer spin, and helps you forget this is the same team that only a few months ago promised us that passing the stimulus would prevent unemployment from rising over 8%.
