Petitioners want Katrina contracts online
Aliya Sternstein writes in FCW.com:
Proponents of open government are petitioning the Bush administration to post Hurricane Katrina relief work contracts online.
The advocacy group OpenTheGovernment.org sent an e-mail urging other organizations to sign an e-mail letter asking President Bush to post all Katrina-related spending documents on the Internet and follow Freedom of Information Act guidelines.
The bipartisan list of signatories includes the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the Federation of American Scientists, OpenTheGovernment.org, Mark Tapscott of the Heritage Foundation and several press associations.
The organizers hope to prevent the misuse of taxpayer dollars by disclosing how officials spend public money.
