Deadlines Pass for Stimulus Details
EmailThe $787 billion stimulus package, passed three months ago, came with a flurry of deadlines for government entities to report their spending plans and the impacts of their efforts. Over a dozen government agencies and offices – including the President’s own – had reports due today, according to ProPublica.org. But only a few appear to have met their deadline. Many more did not respond with comment to the investigative Web site on queries about the status of their efforts. (A spokeswoman for Obama "has not responded to requests checking the status" of the report he owes Congress on stimulus programs' compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, PP reports.) None of the reports, Pro Publica notes, are required to be made public. See ProPublica’s chart for more details.

Still waiting for that TARP transparency too. T.A.R.P. = Transparent. As a. Rock. Pile. ———- It is money thrown at the richest of the rich.

5 have not only met the deadline, but their reports are publicly available. 6 agencies have replied they will meet the deadline but are not making the reports public at this time. 6 have not responded to requests from the website.
“…only a few appear to have met their deadline. Many more did not respond with comment to the investigative Web site on queries about the status of their efforts.”
So, 5 = “a few” and 6 is “many more” than 5.
