Despite evidence to the contrary and common sense, Tom Latham continues to deny any effect from the national stimulus money:
"Somehow (the idea) the stimulus has been working is just a fallacy," Latham said.
Most of the jobs paid for with stimulus funds were at schools across the state. The governor's office said in a new report that 5,379 education positions were funded with stimulus funds. Another 830 positions were paid for in the construction sector, it said. Overall, the state says, 8,309 jobs were funded with stimulus funds that flowed through its coffers.
Latham brags that he voted AGAINST bringing desperately needed money back to his district?
