It's becoming painfully obvious that they were wrong about the whole stimulus bill. If you look the purpose of the stimulus bill, it's suppose to create jobs. Some of those jobs should have been created in order to fix the infrastructure like unsafe bridges.
Rhode Island has scored at the top of the "Deficient Bridges List" with over 55%, as shown at the State by State map.
I don't know how much money Rhode Island is going to spend on fixing bridges, but they certainly have some other priorities for stimulus money. $550K in stimulus cash will help pay for skateboard park
So? What's wrong with a skateboard park? Providing recreation for kids is bad? Building the park provides jobs; jobs for people who pay taxes and spend money in restaurants, hardware stories and other small businesses. Giving money to mega- banks may have been foolish, but providing jobs to working people is not.
Skateboard park can be build in a month. When I was younger we would build it on a parking lot in a few days. Now tell me, how many permanent jobs will be created once this skateboard park is finished?
Prove it. A skateboard park built by a couple of kids in some rural area, sure. A skateboard park built in an urban environment, as a civic park, cannot. Of course that's only my opinion, and you post as if your an expert; so, prove it. Tell us where and provide some evidence.
