#2 Okay. Let's do some math, cuz it appears the guvmint didn't...

Average the 20 hires at 40 bucks an hour, 40 hour week. That's $1600 a week, $83,200 a year X 20 people= $1,664,000.

The funding's for 700 grand for 18 months.
And this doesn't even figure in the cost of the trees...

#4 Ahh yessssa great example of those high paying Green Collar jobs Nancy Pelosi promised us in the 700 Billion Dollar Boondoggle. Now that the prevailing wage clause was written into the Bill even traditionally minimum wage jobs must pay Union wages. Look for the Buggy Whip Union to reorganize.

#5 And this doesn't even figure in the cost of the trees...
