04/20/2009 -- According to the federal government’s tally of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) dollars that have been made available to states, California has been awarded the most funding of any state.
Nearly $13.5 billion has already been awarded to California to date, according to the Obama Administration, which is almost $4 billion more than the second-most awarded state.
“Governor Schwarzenegger made it clear that he would do what it takes to bring as much Recovery Act funding as possible back to California to help our state through this difficult economic time,” said Recovery Task Force Director Cynthia Bryant. “We will continue to scour every available pot of Recovery Act funding that can benefit California.”
