Well, it's helped us, but we're a little different in the sense of the amounts of money that we have received thus far. Ours has been about $22 million. We received money basically in categorical grants. We got CDDB or community development funds, we got neighborhood stabilization¹ funds and we got money to prevent homelessness, and that ranged about $7.2 million.

 

Then we got $10 million for energy programs, which are dealing² with the Honeywell Corporation over a five-year agreement. We're putting in solar, we're putting in LEDs in our lights and doing our water-sewer plant and some other -- municipal complex, we're doing solar.

 

And then we got about $570,000 for summer youth program, and we got about $4.9 million for -- some of it was for 16 police officers. We did our community development and child development program. We funded that out of some of that money.

 

And we had another program in there that came out of that money, but essentially³ we've seen about 200 jobs out of this. But what we really need, and this is just me, I think the money needs to stop going just to the states. It needs to go to the mayors and to the county executives of other country, and we would see...

 

Directly to the cities.

 

Yes. If we see that, I can guarantee you a big boost in jobs and activities.
