State spends about $140,000 on signs for stimulus projects
Oct. 16--The reflective, green sign stands out among the orange construction cones and miles of freshly paved road eastbound on Interstate 84 in Pike County.

Its white lettering reads "Project Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act."

The sign, and three others in Northeast Pennsylvania, are supposed to serve as a nice reminder that federal stimulus funds are putting Pennsylvanians to work.

However, the price tag of the signs, about $2,342 each, has created controversy. Pennsylvania has spent nearly $140,000 on 63 signs to mark 33 construction projects paid for with stimulus funds.
