Counties with most jobless getting less stimulus funds

So this article proves what folks have thought about those HUGE stimulus dollars.

From the Champaign, Ill. newspaper: "Area counties with the highest unemployment rates aren't anywhere near the biggest recipients of federal transportation stimulus funds.

In fact, the three counties in the 15th Congressional District with the lowest jobless rates – Champaign, McLean and Piatt – are among the top recipients of stimulus projects so far."
