Assistance to Crime Victims = Creating Jobs?
We noted in a recent email (sign up above) that Governor Beshear certified to President Obama that all stimulus funds would be "used to create jobs and promote economic growth."
In another example of how ridiculous this was, the Governor has provided us with another bit of evidence that the stimulus was nothing more than an effort to spend as many taxdollars as possible:
Gov. Beshear announces nearly $800,000 in stimulus funds for crime victim grants
FRANKFORT, Ky. - Gov. Steve Beshear today announced that nearly $800,000 in stimulus funds would be available for supplemental public safety grants through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Victim Assistance grant. These grant funds will provide funding opportunities for victim services projects throughout the Commonwealth.
You've been robbed! Here, have some stimulus. Go create some jobs!
