The privately run Recovery.org is actually providing detailed information about how the $787 billion in stimulus money is being spent. Although the Office of Management and Budget requires stimulus spending to be reported by primary and secondary recipients, in many cases, this means the reporting will stop short of the contractors and subcontractors that are hired to do the work since the work may not be assigned yet. Nor does the local authority, necessarily have to disclose what contractors were eventually hired. But the information is invaluable to everyone who might be able to participate in the many retrofit and rehabilitation projects that are now in the pipeline.
