From the MJ:

Warren County returns $330K in stimulus funds

As rules attached to the money changed, the county was not able to comply.

By Ed Richter, Staff Writer Updated 11:42 PM Sunday, August 29, 2010

Warren County has returned more than $330,000 of stimulus money to the federal government this year. The county is not able to comply with rules attached to the money, but commissioners are not shy to show their distaste for the stimulus money.   ~

A reader's comment was laughable......but likely true.
 
Warren County should try the "Middletown Plan": Just ignore the rules and regs. Keep moving the money around, tell the feds what they want to hear and use the money however the movers and shakers want you to use it. Oh, and always keep a little off the top, you know, just for expenses and such.

Laughable??? Maybe, but I don't hear anyone laughing--especially not the taxpayers!!!

Mike....you're correct. What I was trying to allude to was the fact that
people outside of this town are also aware of what goes on here.
Us bagholders are the laughing stock of SW Ohio.

Kudos to Warren County !! I'm glad to see someone in a political position has some actual brains.
 
Not sure why they were unable to comply with the rules but I'm glad they returned it and kept Obama out of their business.
 
I think these so-called stimulus funds are nothing but another way for the fed's to invite themselves further into the lives of it's citizen's. Washington itself is nothing but a scam.

Would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance,just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they'll never take our FREEDOM
