Legislature unveils Web site allowing Nevadans to track progress of recovery funds
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides funding to Nevada to create jobs, help put economy back on track
Nevada legislators have put a section on their legislative website, http://www.leg.state.nv.us/75th2009/FederalStimulus/, that gives Nevadans an opportunity to track the federal recovery funds allocated to the Silver State.
“We are committed to ensuring accountability and transparency for the expenditure of every stimulus dollar,” said Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley. “This Web site is a tool for Nevadans to see for themselves where the recovery fund money is going, and how it is helping to get our economy back on track.”
Several states have put up recovery fund Web sites to help residents track their state federal recovery money. Nevada’s site currently has information about the recovery act and legislative hearings that have been scheduled to discuss what it will mean to our state budget. The site will be updated as legislation is approved and funds are expended.
“These funds were sent to Nevada for a very specific reason – to create jobs and spur our economy,” said Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford. “We must be open and accountable to Nevadans for every recovery dollar spent in the Silver State.”
