All of our fears about waste in the economic “stimulus” bill are over.  President Obama has threatened any mayor who wastes the taxpayers’ money!

Reports ABC News:

President Obama put the nation’s mayors “on notice” that if they spent stimulus money wastefully he would call them out publicly.

Speaking in the East Room of the White House to more than 70 mayors — four of whom were Republicans — the president said, “I want to be clear about this: we cannot tolerate business as usual, not in Washington, not in our State Capitols, not in America’s cities and towns. We will use the new tools that the Recovery Act gives us to watch the taxpayers’ money with more rigor and transparency than ever.”

Wow, I now feel reassured!
