New Hampshire: Lowell

In the wake of the passage of the Stimulus Bill, I thought it fitting to spend a few minutes considering how I and my fellow residents of Manchester - including Mayor Frank Guinta - would fare. My research didn't give me a very clear idea of what the folks in New Hampshire's largest city can expect from the $790 billion dollar plan, but it did illuminate something else for me: Pothole Frank is a crappy mayor.

Thru what serendipity did I glean this? I began at the website of the US Conference of Mayors (www.usmayors.org). News reports about the fiscal stimulus plan had mentioned that the mayors had put together a wish list of local projects that they hoped could be funded by the stimulus package.
