A series of reports will be published at the end of this month detailing how Kentucky and other state governments, cities, universities and other agencies are spending stimulus money aimed at helping employers keep workers while adding new positions in an ailing economy. National data recently released shows the stimulus dollars created or saved nearly 870 jobs in Kentucky, but the initial report includes several inaccuracies which list stimulus money for Kentucky for projects that aren't even in the state, while other state projects show stimulus money was awarded, but officials say no stimulus money was awarded nor used for those projects. Friday, Governor Beshear said stimulus funding has created or preserved 2,300 jobs in the state.
