Vermont’s new two headed recovery office

Vermont like many states is unveiling shiny new websites to provide information regarding their state’s use of funds from the Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Well Louisiana, maybe not?
Here is a link http://recovery.vermont.gov/to Vermont’s shiny new site which contains perhaps an excusable amount of self promotion by Republican Governor Douglas. For a man whose party leaders have come close to expressing the desire for Obama’s policies to fail seems to have achieved a good comfort level with this program.
…………
Welcome to the Vermont Federal Recovery and Reinvestment Website:
Thank you for visiting our site. Here you will find information regarding the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as it relates to our state. You can learn about Governor Douglas’ plans for using these resources to strengthen Vermont’s transportation and technological infrastructure; to invest in renewable energy and efficiency programs; and to grow our economy and put Vermonters back to work.

But Two Heads? The Governor has interestingly found the need to appointed two people to head this office in less than a month. In the beginning of February Governor Douglas named as head Jim Bush, the current Assistant Director of Program Development at the Agency of Transportation. ……However just the other day it was announced that The Office of Economic Stimulus and Recovery will be headed by Tom Evslin, who will report to Administration Secretary Neal Lunderville. March 2, 2009.One head must be bigger than the other.
