Funny that you mention that...
I was hearing on the news this morning how some states once they knew how much they would be getting have already had plans in place on improvement projects that needed to be done ASAP.
Also you are correct, states have presented their cases before Congress about what they needed money for and how much, thus once the stimulus package was conceived, I believe it was already deteremined around about how much states that needed assistance would get and what they were to use it on.
