Research

Remember back in February when the President claimed there would be “unprecedented responsibility and accountability” in the stimulus bill?  The Nashua Telegraph reports that this is not quite the case.  The report notes that when looking at the database tracking stimulus money for the state of New Hampshire, crucial information is seriously lacking.

Nearly half of the 754 items on the New Hampshire list are missing key data – most often a description of the project. We know that Dartmouth Regional Technology Center is getting $80,000, but nothing about how it plans to spend the money. Pike Industries is getting money for some kind of road work, but we don’t know how much.

It seems that the failures of President Obama’s stimulus package are never ending. So it may surprise some to hear the spokesman for the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, Ed Pound, claim that there are no significant errors. In today’s research briefing, we beg to differ.
