[edit] City Colleges chided on secret stimulus action

"While the City Colleges of Chicago won't say what it plans to do with its share of federal stimulus money, it has pre-approved spending up to $85 million spread among 12 contractors to build its “shovel-ready” projects.

The Board of Trustees voted unanimously this morning and without discussion to award the funding; contracts with the 12 companies would be capped at $10 million each."
