And Architectural Record: "On the federal level, industry officials are heartened by Obamas support for infrastructure and, despite the deficit, expect him to back a new economic-stimulus bill that they hope will include money for public works. I think in the short-term they are going to overlook the deficit problems and address some type of investment to get the economy generated again, says Stephen E. Sandherr, CEO of the Associated General Contractors. There are projects out there that are ready to go. They will have an immediate impact on the economy. Some want to see Congress move on a stimulus measure in a lame-duck session, but Sandherr believes it will be held over until next year." ************ **AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs.
