The Coalition for an Accountable Recovery (CAR), coordinated by OMB Watch, has been hard at work monitoring the implementation of the Recovery Act. Last Friday, April 17, the coalition submitted comments on the proposed implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). OMB Watch also produced a summary of the guidance for the coalition and released it publicly on April 10.

If heeded, CAR believes that the comments will help the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) establish a Recovery Act spending tracking system that will provide the level of transparency and accountability in federal spending articulated by President Barack Obama when he signed the act into law.
