Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn today released his report “100 Stimulus Projects – A Second Opinion,” criticizing 100 projects marked for funding under President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, meant to infuse states with money for projects that would not be completed otherwise. Senator Coburn’s report points out 100 projects that he believes “are likely to fail the expectation of out of work Americans who were hoping this bill would create good jobs that they are desperately seeking so that they can provide for their families once again,” according to the report.

Coming in at #96 on the list? Long Beach’s own 14th Street skate park. From the report:

96. A California skate park will get a $620,000 “facelift.” Plans to refurbish the skate park in Long Beach, California, had stalled for months as local funds put towards higher priority park projects. With $620,000 in federal stimulus funding available to upgrade the skate park, the city council decided to move forward. Daniel Johnson, a skater, said, “If most of us weren’t skating right now, we’d be doing some bad stuff.”

Senator Coburn cites this Press-Telegram article as the main source of information.
