OMB Watch Launches Gov't Spending Site

----------------------------------------------------------

(10 Oct) Government watch group OMB Watch on Tuesday launched a new Web site
called FedSpending.org. It lets you search, aggregate and analyze federal
spending from 2000 to 2005. You can search contract and grant information by
agency, congressional district or recipient.

 

A related group, the Center for Responsive Politics, expanded its government
transparency Web site, OpenSecrets.org[1]. The first enhancement displays an
overview of members' net worth and holdings. The second gives updated
information on the trips taken by members and their staffs that are financed
by third parties. Finally, the Center unveiled a work-in-progress database
that will track the "revolving door" between positions in government and
lucrative jobs at lobbying firms.
