Gov. Jim Doyle's office has issued a list of state programs that will be helped by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, as well as an estimate of the amounts each program will receive.

Of the estimated $3.7 billion heading to the state, $1.2 billion has been allotted for Medicaid, the largest program affected. $718 million will go toward a state stabilization fund for education, while $529 billion will go to highway funding.

Doyle said the funding would create or save 70,000 jobs, provide Pell Grants to 91,500 students and tax credits to 2.2 million families.
