Federal Stimulus Road Signs Rile Up Some Taxpayers TIM MARTIN, Associated Press Writer LANSING, Mich. (AP) ? Russell Pohl sees a relatively small but symbolic waste of taxpayer money when he drives by a road sign advertising a construction project paid for by the federal stimulus package. The signs, which typically cost between $500 and $1,200 to design, make and install, read: "Putting America to Work" in black letters on an orange background, and "Project Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" in white letters on a green background. "That's six or so more potholes we could have filled, instead of wasting that money on a sign," said Pohl, a 40-year-old custom countertop and cabinetry maker from rural Clinton County about 30 miles north of Lansing. "A lot of people have mixed feelings about the stimulus anyway. If taxpayers are going to foot the bill, I'd at least like to think the money is being spent wisely."... cbs2chicago.com
