• Train Michigan workers and educate Michigan students for the good jobs here today, and the new jobs we create tomorrow;
• Rebuild Michigan infrastructure -- roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, mass transit, broadband, health information technology, and schools;
• Provide assistance for struggling Michigan families, helping them make ends meet;
• Invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies to create jobs, save money, and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
2. In coordination with state agencies, develop strategies for effective oversight and tracking of the spending of Recovery Act funds to ensure compliance with accountability and transparency requirements and minimize fraud, waste, and abuse of Recovery Act funds;
