CHICAGO (AP) -- On a scale of zero to 100, it can't get worse than the big goose egg.
That's the embarrassing rating Illinois received in a report released on Wednesday that concludes the state is worst in the nation when it comes to information available online about how federal stimulus money is being spent.
The 50-state study by the Washington, D.C.-based watchdog Good Jobs First sought to assess how well states are living up to President Barack Obama's pledge that the $787 billion federal stimulus bill would seek "an unprecedented level of transparency and accountability."

Rediculous, everyone know the money went to the unions, Fat Tony, and the odd pimp or two.

“Only 10 state stimulus sites provide names of contractors and dollar amounts of winning contracts, and just three offer any data at all on how individual projects are meeting a main goal of the stimulus plan — creating jobs.”
Pathetic!! Our taxdollars are going into ACORN and the union’s back pockets!
This is an outrage.

The 'stimulus' was carefully crafted to make a splash in the summer of 2010 when those good old
Daley way goons, RamNoFool and ObamaMamaDingDong, will allow Illinois and the rest of the country to wake up to riches unknown.
The braindead populace will rejoice and reward the thugs much happiness in Congressional races.
