New Recovery.gov Web site The Obama Administration this week unveiled a revised www.recoverv.qov Web site that includes a fea#ure to search for projects in a specific area by ZIP Code. The site, created by the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board,was revamped through the use of$9.5 million in stimulus funds. It provides easier-to-use tools,such as a ZIP Code search that shows stimulus projects in specific communities.The government also has set up a toll-free hot line(1-877-FWA-DESK}for reporting fraud,waste and abuse. Critics complain, however, that the site does not include complete data on recipients'of stimulus money,and users face significant hurdles to accessing the information that is available. 7
