February 24, 2009 - 6:23 pm
Compared to other states, Nevada ranks low in funding from the federal stimulus bill for housing and energy, according to a new analysis of the legislation enacted last week.
On a per-person basis, the state ranks 47th out of 51 (states plus D.C.) in funding for housing and 45th in funds for energy. The analysis was supplied by the office of Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., a critic of the $787 billion stimulus bill who voted against it.
