The stimulus watch list is proof how inept some of our local communities are. Escondido and Carlsbad are not even on the list. The other cities in the county are even asking for fractions of what comparable cities in AZ for example are asking.
SD $351 million
Phoenix $1,560 million

San Marcos $13.7 million
Peoria $401.3 million

Encinitas $5.4 million
Scottsdale $372.4 million

If they are giving away free money then I expect our city councils to fight to be first in line. We should all hope to have old ladies in Iowa pay more taxes so that I can drive by new sidewalks.
