Follow the Stimulus Money
This spring the federal economic stimulus package started doling out $787 billion. And $3.8 million (that’s 1/200,000th of it) went to Rochester, NY for the expansion of ARTWalk, the town’s funky urban sculpture trail. But not everybody thinks that a public art project will do much to stimulate the economy. Produced by Dave Johns.
