$1,599,608

$31K to a charter school.

The balance to improving a state highway, that needs improving, and, that they are actually working on.  It got 3.76 jobs.

Did a little digging. (That's a cool site) Found out that D.C. which is a tiny pittance landwise, is receiving roughly 1/3 the money that the whole state of Florida is. Am I surprised? Hell no.

Those 33,888.5 jobs apparently cost more than $274,000 each.

hahahahahahahaha

They probably all worked for a month and were paid $1200. The rest went into some special pockets.
