State Recovery Websites from ProPublica.

Nice listing of state recovery websites HERE , along with short summary/evaluation.

A couple of examples of what is posted:
  1. Washington State has a nice table HERE showing deadlines for key actions , including those required for federal agencies.
  2. Missouri has a transparency website HERE showing Recovery Act $$ as they are received by State Treasury AND a RSS feed that allows subscribers to receive updates as they occur. These examples shows state level receipts information is very current, as recent as a couple of days ago [May only capture state $$, not $$ being received by others within state]:
Apr 2, 2009Unemployed Missourians received $179,125 in additional unemployment benefits
Apr 1, 2009Unemployed Missourians received $300,375 in additional unemployment benefits
March 2009Unemployed Missourians received $15,304,025 in additional unemployment benefits

Oregon Tracking the dollars website HERE; pretty lame as of the moment.
