Stimulus Package Gives New Hampshire Three New Congressional Districts
Print This Article
New Mexico is not the only state with new jobs–and apparently congressional districts–popping up. The same is happening in New Hampshire, as well.
Good news for all those Congressional candidates facing tough primaries next fall. The Obama Administration’s stimulus package has created three or four more Congressional Districts in New Hampshire.
According to the summary of stimulus jobs “created or saved” in New Hampshire, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has created 3.2 jobs in the 6th District, zero jobs in the 4th District, and two jobs in the 27th District. New Hampshire, of course, only has two Congressional Districts.
The site also lists a whopping 2,873.9 jobs in the 00 Congressional District, which is presumably where former Celtic Hall of Famer Robert Parish lives.
Hattip: Jim Scarantino at New Mexico Watchdog, who discovered the problems with Recovery.gov in his state. This appears to be a nationwide problem with the confusing reporting requirements imposed on recepients of grants under the stimulus package.
