NBC 4: Speaking at the Community Roundtable Wednesday morning, Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy spelled out some of the direct effects the stimulus plan could have on your life. Kilroy said residents can expect to see 15,000 jobs added to the local economy, thanks to the stimulus package, as well as funding for worker training in growing fields such as health care. Other benefits that may touch your life include a 2009 payroll tax credit of $800 for couples and $400 for individuals.
