Stimulus showdown: trees vs. roads!

Democratic governors are slamming environmental advocates, in one of the first fights to break out within the Democratic party over the shape of the stimulus bill being fashioned by Congress and the new Obama administration.

The governors want money pumped into roads and bridges. Environmentalists say that just means more cars, and therefore more pollution, and want greener initiatives instead.

So environmentalists cheered when the transition team signaled that the bill would likely include $300 billion in tax cuts — depriving funds for projects on state transportation wish lists.

But the governors are starting to fight back.

which fits well with this:

Democrats criticize Obama's proposed tax cuts

AP – President-elect Barack Obama speaks about the economy at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., Thursday, … WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama's proposed tax cuts ran into opposition Thursday from senators in his own party who said they wouldn't do much to stimulate the economy or create jobs. Senators from both parties agreed that Congress should do something to stimulate the economy. But Democratic senators emerging from a private meeting of the Senate Finance Committee criticized business and individual tax cuts in Obama's stimulus plan.

They were especially critical of a proposed $3,000 tax credit for companies that hire or retrain workers.
