Gov. Janet Napolitano issued a statement Saturday praising the economic recovery plan of Pres.-elect Barack Obama, the man who has tapped her to become the next secretary of homeland security.
In his weekly radio address, Obama proposed a sweeping program of government works projects that he said will create millions of jobs in his first term.
