Jon Ralston of the Las Vegas Sun concludes:

“Only 14 percent of anticipated stimulus funds will be spent where two-thirds-plus of the state’s population lives. That’s what this internal Nevada Department of Transportation spreadsheet …. Oh and 38 percent would be spent in Washoe County, where the governor lives.”

Maybe it is because Jim Gibbons is Governor Jon.
