Recovery Act Citizen-Centric Reports
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery
Act) was signed into law on February 17, 2009. The Recovery Act
authorized spending up to $787 billion to aid in the rebound of
the
nation’s economy. The main goals of the Recovery Act are: to
create and save jobs; to spur economic activity and invest in
long-term economic growth; and to foster new levels of
accountability and transparency in government spending.
The Recovery Act targets three ways to achieve those goals.
Money is distributed through contracts and grants, loans and
loan guarantees, and through tax policies. The reporting of this
information to taxpayers is very important. Transparency is
vital. As a result, AGA has designed a four-page template that
offers state, federal and local governmental entities a
beginning framework to help report what is happening in that
geographic location with the Recovery monies.
