President Barack Obama's 140-page, $3 trillion budget outline for 2010, which was unveiled Thursday, includes a few basic lines on e-government, transparency and public participation as part of the policy-making process.
Under the heading "Let Americans Track How Their Tax Dollars Are Spent," Obama pledged to take the following steps:
• Maintain Recovery.gov, a site that allows individuals to see where recovery funds are going, for what purpose, and to what result.
• Give the public five days to review all non-emergency bills before they are signed.
• Disclose each earmark and the name of the legislator who asked for each earmark, and make this information available on a searchable public Web site.
• Clean up military contracting by establishing the reporting requirements, accounting, and accountability.
