Where happened to our stimulus dollars?

Roughly one year after accepting $27 million in “stimulus” dollars from the federal government (taxpayers), PSB is laying off 12 locals and 32 regional workers.

What about the jobs the “stimulus” dollars were for? Has the whole $27 million been used up by these now unemployed workers? Were these jobs that are no longer initially created by the $27 million, and now that money is gone? I doubt it. More likely the taxpayer support for PSB went toward more bad bank investments instead of jobs. Now they are culling the herd to keep up their gravy train.

How long has this been planned over at PSB?  A little basic journalism from The Bee would be appreciated — you did run a puff piece for PSB after we found out they had taken the $27 million from us. Where is that money now?
