MONTGOMERY – Governor Bob Riley on Friday launched a website that will help Alabamians learn more about the federal stimulus law and track how the stimulus dollars are spent in the state.

The website is stimulus.alabama.gov. There, Alabamians will be able to find information on the amounts of stimulus funds coming to various programs.

The website will be updated to reflect new information on the stimulus law as federal agencies issue specific regulations on funding uses and requirements. It will also soon include a feature that will allow organizations and individuals to submit proposals for use of the stimulus funds. Submitted proposals will be reviewed to identify projects that could qualify for funding.

“My administration is committed to making sure Alabama carries out its responsibilities under this law with full transparency and accountability. With this website, we will keep the public informed about every dollar coming to Alabama, where it goes and how it is spent,” Governor Riley said.

Ok I didn’t read all of that website, but what I did read was so much going to food stamps, TANF (welfare), and increasing people on unemployment. HA! I don’t recieve either of these. Guess the people out here working their BUTTS off get what??? NOTHING once again. And you know what I can’t stand my job, but I keep at it knowing I have to work and provide along with my husband to keep a home, food, and clothes on my families back. Sorry just so mad about this entire mess.
