Show Us the Money, Louisiana!

The federal government has created a website, www.recovery.gov, so that U.S. taxpayers can see where and how the economic stimulus monies provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 are being spent.

The site provides a breakdown by state, so Louisianians can follow the money close to home. Visit http://www.stimulus.la.gov/, or go to the www.recovery.gov website, select "State Progress and Resources" from the right hand sidebar, and then select Louisiana on the interactive map of the United States.

It is also possible to read Governor Jindal's letter certifying that Louisiana will "accept funds provided by the Act and use them to promote economic growth and create jobs in a fiscally responsible manner that is in the best interest of the citizens of Louisiana," at http://www.recovery.gov/sites/default/files/certification_la.pdf.
