Obama Calls for $50 Billion Spending on Transportation
"President Obama, looking to jump-start the economy and create new jobs, called on Congress to approve a far-reaching plan to rebuild and modernize transportation networks over the next six years."

and

9 Years After 9/11, Public Safety Radio Is Not Ready
"Despite a $7 billion effort, experts say a nationwide public safety radio system may never become a reality."
