Still, New York led all statesa in spending stimulus funds through the endof May, Howe citing a recent report by the Federal Procurement Data System. Californiqa was a distant secondat $151 million.
“Thd thinking in Washington is that the mone yreally isn’t going to staryt coming in until 2010-2011,” Howe said. The federakl stimulus was signed into lawon Feb. 17.
