Gov Gaffe

Recovery.gov, the website set up by the Obama Administration to track the money spent on the stimulus, has been hailed as a great step forward in terms of transparency and a place to track every dollar spent on the stimulus.

But yesterday ABC News' Jonathan Karl revealed that many of the jobs reported as saved or created with the recovery money are in congressional districts that...uhm... don't exist.

Oops.

Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board, attributes this misinformation to human error, saying, "we report what the recipients submit to us." Presumably, some submitters didn't know what district they lived in, and just took a wild guess when adding their stats to the website.
