this is great,since our national forests are one of the most amazing resources we have, and one of the best places to spend time. this reinvestment act sure has assisted the U.P greatly during these difficult economic times. our roads are being rebuilt, industries being assisted, and recreational facilities being maintained. if you actually look around any body can see how this the economic recovery plan has greatly helped in the U.P over the past months. its also obvious with all these improvements future generations will be pleased we invested in our country to keep its functioning.
