From AALL’s Washington Blawg:
Recovery.gov was launched after the enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-5) to provide the public with, “information on how the Act is working, tools to help you hold the government accountable, and up-to-date data on the expenditure of funds.” The Act established an oversight board of inspectors general called the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, which is responsible for running Recovery.gov. . .
. . . the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board and OMB will partner with the National Academy of Public Administration to host an online national dialogue to answer the question:
What ideas, tools, and approaches can make Recovery.gov a place where the public can transparently monitor the expenditure and use of recovery funds?
You’re invited to join IT professionals, the public, state and local partners, potential recipients and solution providers for a week-long dialogue to answer that question. If you are interested in participating, log on to www.recovery.gov starting April 27th.
