How do you think the federal stimulus money should be spent in Texas? This article by April Castro explains how governor Perry is skeptical about accepting these funds because the state would have to expand government programs and according to this article Perry believes this will bring economic problems and the state will have to deal with this alone. Castro states that legislators are urging Perry to accept the funds. The article implies a controversy on the need of these funds for unemployment benefits and the rush to spend the money by the Texas Transportation Commission. The article states some critics think the government should really think about the best way to spend funds. I think this article is worth reading because these funds are a tremendous help specially for unemployment beneficiaries as a stimulus for now but can affect our pockets in the future in a negative way, one example is toll roads. Overall I think governor Perry needs to accept the stimulus considering the nation's economic state.
