Hey, anyone happen to know who our reps are for the 10 Congressional Districts in WV?

I would have sworn we only had 3 districts.

However, according to recovery.gov (the official govt. website which tracks the stimulus money, where it goes, the number of jobs created, etc.) we have 10 districts which received stimulus money. Actually, one is numbered 00 so not sure if that qualifies as a district but they did get a little money.

The 54th Congressional district received a cool million $$ and 3 whole jobs were created.
Dang, I want one of those jobs.

I'm sure since this has hit the news and blogs (new districts in WV and other states), it will soon be corrected on recovery.gov.
In the meantime, you can find it at
State/Territory Summaries (http://www.recovery.gov/Pages/TextView.aspx?data=stateSummaryAllCD&statecode=WV - broken link) or
State / Territory Summaries (http://www.recovery.gov/Transparency/StateSummaries/Pages/statesummary.aspx?StateCode=WV - broken link) or

God bless our government.

That 00th District has always been a real loser. No jobs and only $6587 in stimulus funds.

And these are the people that want to take over health care?

You actually only have 3 districts. However, Senator Byrd has everyone fooled into thinking you have seven more so you get more money. Shhhsh, don't tell anybody.

7 of those Congressional Districts are located in the Bahamas.....

Set up very similarly to the way the congressmans 'Non-Profit Corporations work.

Put it on paper and it becomes reality...Feds investigate for 40 years and compile evidence.
When the crimminals are 85 years old ,they are Supoenaed and spend 18 months in prison.
The hundreds of millions that have been stolen convienently disapears...

Those Non-profits? btw

Funnel millions of contrated work out of the country to where the corporate headquarters exist.

What do we get? Jobs! Jobs!!!

$8.00 for work that is very skilled and pays upwards of $30 per hour in other states...a kick in the face to our people, for sure.

The clocking is ticking on these silk shirted crooks...

....so who cashed the checks for those districts? Where is the money at?

Yeah, I'm ready for MORE government in my life.

I'm bewildered when people say they want government run anything. I've said it before- "there are none so blind as those who will not see".

I wouldn't be to hasty in implicating Senator Byrd with this Obama Communist Fiasco...

If you remember correctly, it was he who alerted the Conservatives and the Liberal Cadre (Who hasn't cared to stop it) to the 'Obama Power Grab and was instantly taken out of Washington Power.

See anything positive on the horizon in the 'Pork Category for Wv? Other than 'Cap and Trade (economic sucide)?????

If a congressman/woman smells like a rat, then they might be a rat...

I was told the money was being spent at the Chinese Commodity Market...that's Chinese like in China.

and guess who's in China? Distributing the Wealth...??? You really must listen to these hacks...they mean what they say...

Jobless Recovery is another one....Jobless...

Always there has been some terrible evil — to gobble us up if we would not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exuberant funds demanded. Yet in retrospect, those disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real."
