Earlier today the Senate passed its version of the Stimulus Bill and will begin work with the House to reconcile their two versions.  In both versions, and most likely in the final version, the states will be given some latitude in how portions of the funds are spent.  Governor Kaine in Virginia has set up a website to solicit ideas from Virginians on how the state spends those funds. I think its a great idea.  After all, this is $830 billion of taxpayer money that is being allocated.  We might as well have some say in how its spent.  Go to the website and make your voice heard Virginia.

The website is www.stimulus.virginia.gov .
