Residents in Rhode Island‘s 86th district saw nearly 60 new jobs develop in their community with the help of more than $10 million in stimulus funds, according to recovery.gov. At least they would be, if it actually existed. The state has 2 congressional districts, but the stimulus tracking web site monitored funds distributed to three districts that do not actually exist.
