I'm sure this won't happen to Fair, but I'm starting to feel burned out by politics. I still totally LOVE Barack Obama - don't get me wrong. But the expectations set for him were impossibly high and now I gather that his ratings are starting to drop and the criticism of this decision or policy or that is rising . . . I'm just weary of it all. I hope this condition doesn't last for long - I want to care about everything, I still keep up with national news online and on TV - but . . . I guess it is the post-campaign let-down, just a bit delayed . . .
Local news - of course the Economic Stimulus is story one. My involvement is tangential - but for various reasons, including the "federal-aid eligible" characteristic of the transportation component of the stimulus package, I did work with DIT to change "my" website at www.michigan.gov/mdot - look under maps & publications, maps, and then - no longer NFC and NHS - who knows what they stand for - now it's "Federal-Aid Highways." So maybe it will be easier for that small town mayor or whatever to look for the answer to the question - Is my road eligible for federal-aid? Could I get Stimulus money? (probably not if you have only now begun to look into it, but anyway . . . )
