Now that the stimulus bill has been passed, Congress and the President are gearing up to spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer money. The U.S. Conference of Mayors has already provided a list of shovel-ready projects in cities around the country that the mayors would like to see funded. President Obama, however, has promised to spend stimulus dollars only on critical projects.
There is a website that "shines the light" on this list of shovel-ready projects. Remember, these projects are not yet part of the stimulus bill. They are candidates for funding.
If nothing else, it is interesting to look at the list to see what the various cities and states have proposed. Who knows, this may end up being something that "takes off" and provides the type of transparency and accountability that is required.
