The federal stimulus package has been controversial to say the least.
So, where did it go and specifically, how did East Texas fair in the stimulus sweepstakes?
The American recovery and reinvestment act totaled $787-billion.
Texas got $8-billion of that, and Smith and Gregg counties together received a little over a hundred million dollars.
The overwhelming majority of that money went to roads, but the two counties had very different priorities.
Smith County received just over $90-million, and $74-million of that went to Loop 49.
