Governor Carcieri, State of Rhode Island
On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 which is designed to jumpstart the economy, create and protect jobs, and invest in key priorities.

As Governor, I want to take full advantage of the opportunities while being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. I am working closely with the General Assembly, our Congressional delegation, and our cities and towns to maximize the federal stimulus dollars available to Rhode Island, and to get our economy moving again.
