20Follow Recovery Money in Various States

    By this point in time, we know that Recovery.gov was created to track how the money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (aka the Stimulus Plan).  We even have a prior blog post about it.  But how would we track the recovery money sent to individual states and parceled out?  Now, Pro Publica has put together a website compiling state various websites and databases to track recovery money. Not every state has the same information publicly available nor in user-friendly formats.  Some states haven't even created websites or databases to track Recovery funds sent to that state.  However, this is a great first stop resource on the web to check out what individual states do offer.  And as always, if state and local governments are not making available information to the public about how they use funds, you can always demand greater accountability from elected officials.
