Shadegg calls out stimulus website

PHOENIX - Congressman John Shadegg is calling out Recovery.org.

The website explains where stimulus money has been allocated to and how it is helping the economy to rebound.

"Somebody is incompetent at best and deceitful at worst," Shadegg said.

Shadegg blasted the site for what he says is presenting false information.

According to the site more than 30 jobs have been saved or created with stimulus money in Arizona's ninth congressional district. Problem is, there is no ninth congressional district in Arizona.

"This is a government-funded website to which the congress just appropriated $18 million to tell the American people how we are spending the stimulus money well," he said, "but it shows zip codes in which millions have been spent and no jobs have been created."

Shadegg said the annual deficit has tripled under the current administration.

"The government taking more money out of the hands of American taxpayers to waste in this fashion is shocking and it ought to make some people pretty darn mad."
