According to federal and state officials, President Obama’s home state of Illinois has received more stimulus transportation funds than any other state.
Obama’s Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, a former Illinois Congressman, recently told a local radio station, “‘there is no favoritism’ involved in the distribution of federal money, but instead said it was based on a long-standing formula for allocating highway funds to the states. … More than $600 million in funding has been approved for nearly 250 projects” throughout the state.
