"Follow The Money" -- Stimulus Cash for Schools Comes With Strings Attached
June 23, 2009 The federal stimulus package is helping Central Florida school districts to dramatically expand the number of Title One schools for the coming year.

"Follow The Money" -- Will Extra Unemployment Benefits Help Speed Up Florida's Economic Recovery?
May 11, 2009 -- As the federal stimulus dollars flow into Florida, we continue our occasional series, "Follow The Money", to keep track of where all that cash is going. A sizable chunk will go to help the unemployed. But the 2009 legislative session ended last Friday with mixed results for people in Florida who've lost their jobs during this recession. Lawmakers accepted $700 million in federal stimulus money to keep benefits flowing for several extra weeks. But they declined to take another batch of unemployment stimulus money that came with strings attached. 90.7's David Pitman sat down with University of Central Florida economics professor Sean Snaith. David asked him whether the first pot of money, which will extend jobless benefits for 250,000 Floridians for an additional 20 weeks, might speed up an economic recovery.

"Follow The Money" -- A Conversation with Florida's Stimulus Czar
April 13, 2009 -- Central Florida could get more than two billion dollars in federal stimulus money, with the funding going to schools, roads, law enforcement, homeless advocates, and scores of other projects. This week, 90.7 kicks off an occasional series, "Follow the Money," to track where those federal dollars are going. In the coming months, we'll be asking who's getting the promised new jobs, what local projects are getting a kick-start, and how much of the money will actually end up staying in the region? We start the series with Don Winstead. He's the governor's special advisor on how and where the stimulus will be spent in Florida. He says the funding that will actually create jobs is just starting to flow into the state. And he told 90.7's David Pitman that we should see some significant hiring later this spring, and through the summer.
