Just posting a site where the focus isn't on the money being taken back, but on the fact that california violated the terms of the stimulus package. I've found the terms for multiple states, but when I search california its cluttered with news stories about how california violated it and there's not many actual government sites listed.

However, the fact that there is terms for it means that there are rules attached to the money. Rules that can be broken, and that could lead to the fed taking action. The state still has the full power here, its just that they agreed to taking the money and violated the terms of the reasoning behind them taking the money. And the reason the state took the money is because the state made a ton of stupid decisions in the past and got to the point where they needed help.
Have you read the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009? I'm confused as to why you are going to third party sources to prove what is in the act instead of going to the act directly.
