Tomorrow marks the 18-month anniversary of the Recovery Act. At the Wisconsin Budget Project, we’re breaking out the cake and candles and have also released a new report that focuses on direct benefits that Wisconsinites are receiving as part of the stimulus effort. Between February 2009 and May 2010, Wisconsin residents received more than $3 billion in tax cuts, extended unemployment benefits, and other benefits. These direct benefits have helped Wisconsin families who are struggling to make ends meet, and bolster our state’s economy when the dollars are spent. Read the whole report here.
