Send to friendFederal stimulus dollars allocated to the state Bureau of Land Management have made their way into Cochise County, providing work for Arizona youth and one Sierra Vista-based company.
In 2009, Arizona BLM received $17 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, hundreds of thousands of which has been allocated to be put to use locally in the San Pedro Riparian Natural Conservation Area, said Dorothea Boothe, spokeswoman for the BLM.

We must remember from where this federal stimulus money comes. It is part of
our national debt which I doubt will ever be paid. The deeper our country
goes into debt the stronger our competitors will become. I don’t believe we
can consider China to be a friendly nation to the USA and they hold the
majority of our national debt. Place yourself in your country’s place. Do you
believe you could survive with a comparable debt as our country?
$260,000 to renovate trail heads? What a waste of money. What in the world do
you need over a quarter million dollars for to redo trails? Now I know the
liberals are in charge because they love these green projects.
They spent 20 times that for pop-up steel barriers on the roads going into
the fort. You can drive right around them or walk unmolested directly through
the mountains from Mexico.
Nice to see some of the Fed money spent on cleaning up the illegal mess!
