A Breakdown of the Highway-Bridge Stimulus Money

So which states will be receiving money from the portion of the economic stimulus package designated for infrastructure projects?  A total of $26,810,000 has been allocated specifically for highway and bridge construction.  California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania will all see a portion of those funds – 31% of the total amount.  California and Texas combined will see 18% (California will receive $2,569,568,320, with Texas following a close second with $2,250,015,146).  Delaware is slated to receive the least amount at $121,828,650.

Such precise numbers.  I wonder how it was decided who would get what – or for that matter, who got money at all.  I suppose the rest of us won’t be enjoying new roads anytime soon.
