Details of what it all means at TPMM
Who's trying to stop the government from telling its citizens where their tax dollars are being spent? Help find out.
Just before the August recess, the Senate was set to vote on a bill introduced by Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Tom Coburn (R-OK) that would create a public, searchable database of all federal grants and contracts. Envisioned as a Google-like website, it would provide free, immediate access the information, which can be alarmingly difficult to obtain.
Bravo! It's about time. People need to start paying attention. Finding ways out of this mess. We need a serious overhaul.
