Who Will Track The Stimulus Money?

WASHINGTON (AP) - The stimulus money is coming, but who will
keep track of how it's used?
President Barack Obama's top budget aides are putting in place
strict reporting requirements for all government agencies that will
be involved in spending the 787-billion-dollar economic package.
In fact, Obama's budget chief has revealed a 25-thousand-word
document detailing exactly how Cabinet and executive agencies,
states and local organizations use the money that's designed to
save or create more than three million jobs over the next two
years.
Officials says it's a strict system meant to streamline reports
so they can be reviewed readily on the administration's new Web
site, Recovery.gov.
