Excerpt:
Count Fitchburg among the scores of Wisconsin municipalities that have thrown their names in a hat, in hopes of sharing some of the estimated $3.5 billion in federal stimulus money that could soon flow into the state.

A request for $14 million for a Fitchburg library is on a list of more than 3,300 projects compiled in December by Gov. Jim Doyle's office from more than 140 cities, villages, towns, American Indian tribes, school districts and other public entities around the state. The vast majority of the projects on the list are public works-related, such as street, utility, bike path and sidewalk work.
