2009 Tyler Stimulus Plan

Today, I would prefer to talk about something much more serious.  The state of the economy is a huge concern for all of us.  Thankfully, the Economic Stimulus plan was finally approved by the Senate.  Besides some of the concessions made by both parties, there was one particular amendment to the original proposal that provided the justification to send this to the House of Representatives.  I realize that the stimulus plan will have an impact on all of us, but I would like to take the opportunity to share my own personal victory illustrated in the recent update to the proposal's table of contents.  Changes are reflected in bold blue font below.
