YOUNG VOICES

Another "Dot Gov"
by Staff


 

There was Change.gov. Then there was the revamped WhiteHouse.gov, which looked an awful lot like Change.gov. And did you know there was a USA.gov?

Well, there's another "dot gov." The Obama administration created Recovery.gov so that Americans can keep track of the stimulus bill (a.k.a. the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and “see how and where their money is being spent.”

The Recovery.gov site will be functional after the bill is passed, and the site promises that an “oversight board” will update the site “as part of an unprecedented effort to root out waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary spending in our government.”

Okay. We'll be watching.
