"State to get $300m for food and nutrition
Massachusetts will receive more than $300 million from the federal stimulus package for food and nutrition services that help low-income and elderly residents. Governor Deval Patrick and Senator John F. Kerry announced the funding yesterday in Worcester. More than $300 million in federal money will be used to increase benefits for participants of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly know as Food Stamps. On average, households will receive about an 18 percent increase. Nearly 600,000 people in the state use the program. About $2 million will go to the Elderly Nutrition Program, which serves more than 8.5 million meals to seniors each year (AP)."

Where's my check for being a patriotic citizen? WTF?
The senators also announced yesterday that public housing programs across Massachusetts will get nearly $82 million from the stimulus package. Local housing agencies can use the money to improve public housing units, create jobs, and increase energy efficiency.
