This is part of the bill^.
SEC. 1201. TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS. (b) (1) (A)
Each such agency shall notify the public of funds obligated to particular infrastructure investments by posting the notification on the website Recovery.gov.
[Continues from there... details at SEC. 1226. RECOVERY.GOV.]
This site improves accessibility but not transparency. All congressional bills are already readily available... but it's limited to watchdogs and those few that are motivated enough to find and read them.

- indiejade 18y agoCoincidentally, the Wiki on TransparentAccounting.org also went "live" today: http://www.transparentaccounting.org/wiki/us http://www.transparentaccounting.org/wiki/us The words "accountability" and "transparency" (from Recovery.org) do seem to be used much more frequently by the Obama Administration than its predecessor. This makes me think that the wiki just might work. I don't know how much work needs to be done on a wiki before blowing the kazoos and writing the press releases. What might be the best way to go about building the site? Starting with abbreviations seems like a good idea, as it seems both techies and government people love the acronyms. Any and all thoughts / ideas / opinions are welcome.
