Here is the current list for Tulsa. Does anyone have one for OKC yet? I am curious as to what the 41 mill for the Urban Rail is exactly?

Is all of this a part of the stimulus package under the new administration?

Could be. Nothing is approved. It certainly cant be under the current one, at this point they dont have time to make one.

I don't see how the bigger cities like Chicago, Boston, Seattle, etc. need money from the government for projects. I could see how cities like Tulsa, OKC, Memphis, New Orleans, etc. could use the money though. Btw I'm not really in favor of this but it's any development nut's dream. And I don't really approve that museums and casinos will be built with this money (if approved). I think this money should be used on city infrastructure and for the overall well being of the city, hospitals, etc. Which is why I like Tulsa's priorities in their list.

Every town/state is going to have their "wish list" to present to congress on this stimulus program. I read in the paper where a town of about 314 people in (I think) Alabama requested the equivalent of $2 million for each person in the town. It was for energy programs and such, and something to do with golf carts. It looks like this can get pretty silly before all is said and done.

I'm definitely not for increasing the deficit, but if this is going to pass, I hope they use the money for worthwhile projects like bridges, highways, roads and public transportation.
