A watchdog group has released a new report, "Show Us the Stimulus," ranking how well states are doing in keeping the public informed on how and where the $787 billion federal "stimulus" dollars are being spent.
"Many states are failing to support President Obama's vow that the stimulus will be carried out with unprecedented transparency," said Good Jobs First Executive Director Greg LeRoy.
Pennsylvania scored 50 out of a possible 100 points in the index, ranking it No. 6 of the 50 states.
The study examines the quality of disclosure by state websites on the ways ARRA funding is flowing. Each state is rated 0-100 for its overall site and again for reporting on highway projects.
