Well, as if making the wasteful pork laden wasteful stimulus package in DC public isn't bad enough, Our President's Home Town, (heard it 2,049 times during the election), :P, Said NO to disclosing what they will use the money for.
To have a cesspool like Chicago Politics give us an un"cess" Presidente like BHO is SHOCKING! :o

Daley refuses to release stimulus project list
Posted by Dan Mihalopoulos at 6:40 p.m.
Mayor Richard Daley said today Chicago has compiled a wish list of "shovel-ready projects" to spend federal economic stimulus funds on should Congress approve a plan.
Unlike hundreds of other cities, however, Daley said Chicago won't make its list public.
"Yes, we do, we have our list, we've been talking to people. We did not put that out publicly because once you start putting it out publicly, you know, the newspapers, the media is going to be ripping it apart," Daley said.
"It's very controversial. Yes, we have ready projects from the Board of Education to the City Colleges to the Park District to the CTA and the city of Chicago. Oh yes. Us and New York decided not to do that. We thought we could go directly into the federal bureaucracies and the different departments," the mayor added.
Later, Daley was asked why he wasn't being more transparent.
"Read some of your newspapers. Heh heh," he replied.

Having lived half my life in or around the general area, if you want information you have to pay for it. If reporters slid over an envelope full of cash per question he would be more forthcoming, besides everyone knows those funded projects we be going to friends or those willing to send a little back.
