The article “States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash” was written by Monica Davey, a writer for the New York Times. It was published in the New York Times on February 16th. The article targets all of Americans because it deals with our current economic crisis that this entire country faces.
The article focuses on state and local government officials and how they plan to spend the money they will receive because of the new Stimulus deal. There is a great debate on who and how much everyone will get and what they will be spending it on. Some states have already mapped out how they will spend it and others are thinking about not taking the money at all. This package seems to help fix up local issues and create more jobs. However, it seems there may not be a conclusion on where the money is going for some time to come.
