Big Plans

In this the age of free money, a town in south Alabama has come up with a brilliant idea: Ask for $375 million dollars. And asking for all of the proposed money to go to 'green' improvement projects. This falls right in line with President-elect Barak Obama's plans for a stimulus package. Edwardsville is lauded as an example. Every city in the US should be trying this hard to invest in renewable resources and provide jobs in these troubled financial times. The entire request is a mere .045% of the $775 billion that is planned for the next two years. So, here's to you Edwardsville, AL. Good luck!
