Re: The Stimulus Bill does have funding for wetlands protection but there is no funding for a San Francisco Bay project let alone the salt mouse.

How interesting. I looked and yet I can't find it. I did find the infamous $400M appropriation to "science" going to NASA that John Boehner complained about, though.

As with all appropriations, the idea is for NASA to give out block grants, and make the information available on recovery.gov. Maybe the protection for the San Fransisco Bay mouse is one such possible contract, but since it hasn't appeared on the webpage, I can only conclude that it's a topic of conversation at this point, and not a commitment.

The timeline can be found here on when projects should start appearing:

If the mouse shows up, I'll probably complain about it, too. Until then, it's just conjecture.
