After reading the story "Stimulus-money jobs are a win-win for state" (July 19). I could only shake my head. The Baltimore Sun is gaga over 100 jobs created by the state using $3.6 million dollars of stimulus money.

What The Sun doesn't get (and it doesn't surprise me) is, who will pay for the jobs when the stimulus money runs out? Gee! A good journalist might have thought to ask a simple question like that.

But with state workers being furloughed every year, I guess we'll soon hear from the state employees' unions. Maybe instead of furloughs some of the employees would have been happy to work a week at the Department of Human Resources to help process claims.

Oh my, that would be a really tough choice to make--one week with no pay or one week with pay.
