Thousands seek piece of state's stimulus

View the original

Electrical engineer Mike Budzynski says in his application for federal stimulus money that his company will employ 12,000 people within a month of receiving the cash.

Budzynski's project likely will catch the attention of those handing out Ohio's share of the federal stimulus money. But it's unlikely that his project will receive a dime.

Gov. Ted Strickland's office unveiled the list of stimulus applications made to the state so far.

The list contains more than 7,700 projects, from the traditional road and sewer projects to the more fanciful, such as Budzynski's. Every county has at least five projects in the mix. The total price tag -- a whopping $48.4 billion -- far outstrips the available assistance.
