"If some Governors decide to reject the money, other states should be able to use it to create thousands of jobs," Weiner says
Representative Anthony Weiner (D - Brooklyn and Queens), a Regional Democratic Whip, announced new legislation to send stimulus money rejected by Governors to other states in need.
To date, five (5) Governors have announced they will turn down sections of the economic stimulus package.
Rep. Weiner said, "If some Governors decide to reject the money, forty-five (45) other states should be able to use it to create thousands of jobs. We have plenty of projects across the country that will put people to work and help achieve long term economic growth and stability. This money would help prevent layoffs for police, firefighters and teachers."
