From TampaBay.com:
“We’re grateful for it,” Crist said Monday in Washington after joining other governors at a White House meeting with President Obama. “We want to spend those dollars wisely.”`
But back home, some Republicans doubt the stimulus package will work. State Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, said the state might feel a temporary boost, but it is risky to prop up the budget with one-time money that will soon run dry.
“These Obama bucks might be worse than Monopoly money because Monopoly money is real, and the Obama bucks cost you in the end,” Bennett said. “It’s the Obama lottery we’re playing, and that’s a bad bet.”
