Anyone who doesn’t think stimulus money is continuing to flow to the public sector and not the private sector for jobs should take note of a CBS-TV story about this August 2nd announcement:

Two Chicago groups are getting more than $16 million in federal stimulus money for projects aimed at expanding access to broadband Internet services.

The announcement was from whom Rod Blagojevich appointed to the U.S. Senate:

Roland I-would-have-liked-to-tell-the-truth-but-forgot-to Burris

The press release is not on the Burris web site.

Congresswoman Melissa Bean talks to man before McHenry's Fiesta Days Parade.

8th District Congresswoman Melissa Bean didn’t object to Burris’ appointment and lack of open truth-telling about connections to Rod.

And, although she has actually won election to Congress, she has made no similar announcement of broadband expansion in her 8th district.

It would be nice if it was going to create real, sustainable jobs in the private sector.

That’s something that Bean has failed to do in any meaningful way for her past six years in office. Bean is a liberal Democrat who voted for the public option for health care.

It’s fair for residents to ask Bean:

Where are the new private sector jobs she campaigned for, six years ago?

It looks like Bean is for a huge tax increase that will go into effect on January 1st.
