THOMAS: Numbers prove Obama’s stimulus plan is a failure

THOMAS: Numbers prove Obama’s stimulus plan is a failure President Obama’s attempt to spin the latest discouraging unemployment numbers as “a step in the right direction” is like telling passengers aboard the Titanic to ignore the sinking vessel and listen to the live music.

Clock ticking on county’s use of low-interest stimulus money

The clock is ticking on Davison County’s access to nearly $8 million in low-interest, federally backed bonds, the county commissioners learned Tuesday at the courthouse.
John Claggett told fellow commissioners during an informal conversation that the county is being asked by the state to use or lose nearly $8 million in bonding authority for economic-development projects. If the bonding authority goes unused, it would be returned to a state pool so it can be used to finance other projects in communities around the state.
