WASHINGTON (AP) - Oklahoma placed 28th in the nation in per capita
federal spending in 1988 with $2,298.33 per resident, the U.S.
Census Bureau reported Thursday.
Virginia, home to major naval and Marine bases and several
suburbs of the nation's capital, topped all states in per capita
federal spending last year. The federal government spent $5,953.71
per resident in Virginia in 1988, moving it past Alaska to claim the
top ranking.
Alaska slipped to third, with federal spending totaling
$5,193.29 per resident, according to the report: ``Federal
