Review, Vote Online For Milwaukee Stimulus Projects

An easy-to-use website lists Milwaukee's proposed stimulus-funded projects, and allows you to vote for those you want funded, or not.

He preferred to bloviate about more tax cuts, thus stimulating only his presumptive 2010 GOP caniddacy,

To which we say what he said about stimulus funding:

Thanks, but no thanks.
