It's hard to describe the "stimulus" bill as a "love it or hate it" situation since Americans either hate it or belong to the "it's better than nothing" crowd.
But at least transparency will allow everyday citizens to keep track of their tax dollars being put out of business.
Texas taxpayers will be able to follow the funds from old Porkulus via a new Web site, Comptroller Susan Combs announced last Friday.
"Tracking the Stimulus" allows visitors to view a spreadsheet with line items of the money allocated for Texas. The list includes the money slated for projects, unemployment benefits and tax credits. The information is preliminary and will be continually updated.
The Web site includes e-mail alerts for when the spreadsheet is updated. The "stimulus" bill itself is available as a PDF file ... all 407 pages of it.
View the website here.
