"California's decision to cut funding for vital infrastructure projects is yet another reminder of the desperate need for new and rapid federal stimulus investments. With these investments, we'll put people back to work and money back into the economy. Without these investments, we'll see more devastating job losses and disappointing economic contractions. The choice is clear, we can act now to build America's future, or we can watch it slip away like yet another piece of the American dream," said Stephen Sandherr, the Chief Executive Officer of the Associated General Contractors of America.
