Obama requests Tufte transparency
Obama appoints Edward Tufte as part of a panel to track stimulus transparency. Tufte on the appointment:
I will be serving on the Recovery Independent Advisory Panel. This Panel advises The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, whose job is to track and explain $787 billion in recovery stimulus funds … I’m doing this because I like accountability and transparency, and I believe in public service. And it is the complete opposite of everything else I do. Maybe I’ll learn something.
Maybe we’ll learn something too.
(thx, Jason)
