ARRA Targets $600K to Nonexistent Schools

Veep Joe Biden was named the watchdog for ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funds, but he and his don't seem to be paying much attention. While Biden is busy bragging that ARRA is working better than anyone imagined (oh, yeah), the people at ProPublica point out that:

In Kansas, 11 school districts that no longer exist are on the U.S. Department of Education's distribution list for stimulus funds. They are set to receive nearly $600,000.

We found these school districts when Kirby Ross, managing editor of the Phillips County Review in Phillipsburg, Kan., alerted us that our county-by-county stimulus tracker [1] included two districts in his area that didn't exist. That prompted us to do some more digging.

Is it too late for me to set up a dummy school district and line my pockets?
