Welcome to Citiwire.net! The new federal stimulus bill marks a landmark step in rebuilding America’s infrastructure. But will the building funds also be spent in “green” ways?

The companion column, by Citistates Associate Mary Newsom of the Charlotte Observer, raises the though issue of state and local officials who just don’t grasp the financial waste inherent in sprawl development. Both our columns cite a great new Obama quote warning the day’s past when we could blithely “build sprawl forever.”
