Stimulus Money may go to restoration of Governor's mansion

According to the Austin American Statesman, the Texas State legislature is considering sending over 700 million dollars to unspecified public works projects. The Senate finance committee has even reportedly suggested that a portion of these funds go to the restoration of the Governor's Gansion. Where are we gonna get 700 million dollars for "unspecified public works projects", you might ask. The funding for these projects comes directly from 16 billion dollar stimulus package we should be receiving any day now. It is also reported that the main advocate for this proposition will be Chairman Steve Ogden, who supposedly sent John Sneed to go find out if part of the stimulus money could be used on restoring and upgrading the Governor's Mansion.
