For anyone who lives out in one they know exactly what I mean:
"The White House was announcing the loan money Thursday as part of a rural conference it is holding this week. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has made revitalizing rural America a priority as small towns have been losing population and political clout in recent years. He said leveraging private money is a new approach. "USDA and other agencies invest in infrastructure through a variety of federal initiatives, but our resources are finite," Vilsack said, adding that there was a backlog of projects in many parts of the economy."
Globe not smelling to good either since the website scrubbed my print.
I know I should be happy because it is not the usual millions in chump change portioned out to the American people, but it looks like a little-too-little a little-too-late in adre$$ing neglect. And that pre$umes the money will not be thieved away.
