Dems: NY could draw $7B under Obama jobs plan - WSJ.com: "ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The state stands to gain more than $7 billion to rebuild roads, modernize schools and transit systems and put more than 83,000 people to work under President Barack Obama's proposed jobs program.
The White House and congressional Democrats estimate that $3 billion that could flow quickly to New York would go to hiring at least 38,800 construction workers to build and upgrade highways, airports, railroads and other transit networks.
Their state-by-state breakdown of the plan shows that another $2.2 billion allocation to modernize public schools and community colleges would support 26,300 jobs in New York, and $1.8 billion more would pay for 18,000 teaching and first responder jobs."
