Cook's Stimulus
Pro Publica has the breakdown of stimulus money that has come into Cook County. By number, it looks like higher education and housing are the big recipients--in the form of Section 8 and Pell grants.
Although, here are some big ones that warmed my heart a bit:
CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY $48,931,728.00 Grant INFRASTRUCTURE RENEWAL, PREVENTATIVE MAICOMMUTER RAIL DIV OF REGIONAL TRANSP AUTHORITY $46,603,124.00 Grant FY 2009 BRIDGE REHAB/SIGNAL UPGRADES
CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY $191,300,192.00 Grant PURCHASE BUSES, SUBWAY REHABILITATION
