41. But ultimately, did any of the states refuse it?
Edited on Thu Oct-08-09 06:16 PM by Clio the Leo
Just looking at Recovery.gov I cant find any state that hasn't accepted at least some stimulus funds. Even the castle of the Wicked Witch of the North Alaska has spent almost $200 million. As much as they complained, everyone took it.

LA, SC, and TX seem to stand out in my mind as the biggest opponents and they've so far spent $800 million, $900 million and $4 billion respectively.

And why is that? Well when it came right down to it the Republican voters wanted the money.

I live in TN and when Gov. Bredesen iniatially said he wouldn't take it, the good citizens bum rushed his office.
