Description

This report responds to two ongoing mandates under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). It is the latest in a series of reports on the uses of and accountability for Recovery Act funds in 16 selected states, certain localities in those jurisdictions, and D.C. These jurisdictions are estimated to receive about two-thirds of the intergovernmental assistance available through the Recovery Act. This report also responds to a mandate to comment on the jobs estimated in recipient reports. The auditor collected and analyzed documents and interviewed state and local officials and other Recovery Act award recipients. He also analyzed federal agency guidance and spoke with individual federal officials. Illustrations.
