Kind: Fed stimulus bill could bring 70,000 jobs to Wis.

Citing a White House analysis, U.S. Rep. Ron Kind says in a press release that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act could bring as many as 70,000 jobs to the Badger State.

"This bill is a smart mix of tax cuts for small businesses and 95 percent of American families, investment in vital infrastructure, and aid to people in need," Kind said. "While there will never be total consensus on a bill of this magnitude and nature, I believe the recovery compromise achieves a balanced goal: using stimulative spending and tax cuts to get our economy up and running again so that we can keep and create jobs - 70,000 right here in Wisconsin."

UPDATE: Here are state-by-state and congressional district breakdowns of the job creation proponent of the bill, from the White House via U.S. Rep. Dave Obey.
