Stimulus Plan leaves it up to the state to determine priority—such as whether a repair of highways is more important than new construction. 3. TCS believes the Stimulus Plan shortchanges large metropolitan area 4. Stimulus Plan does not supply a  good definition of “high priority areas”, which in the end should be receiving much the Stimulus Plan.”

See the article for yourself and let me know what you think:
