Citizens are working to help the new administration “keep its pledge to invest stimulus money smartly and to hold public officials accountable for the taxpayer money they spend” through an online forum called Stimulus Watch.
While this forum does not directly relate to stimulus bill projects, the projects posted here are candidates for funding by federal grant programs. Learn more by reading the Stimulus Watch FAQs.
So how does this online non-profit forum, started by two George Mason University senior research fellows, work? Users across the country with local knowledge about the proposed projects in their respective cities find, discuss, and rate those projects. The forum allows users to vote for or against projects in their communities, and even comment on them.
