WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- States for a Transparent and Accountable Recovery (the STAR Coalition) will hold a press briefing for news media to prepare reporters for the massive release of Recovery Act data coming out on October 30th.
Date: Tuesday, October 27th( )
Time: 1:00 pm Eastern
Call: 219-509-8020
Code: 287971
"The 2009 Recovery Act is the most transparent federal spending bill in U.S. history and October 30th will mark by far the largest release of stimulus data yet," said Greg LeRoy, executive director of Good Jobs First, who will moderate the briefing.
The data to be released on October 30th will cover all non-federal contracts and all loans and grants made under the Recovery Act; it will include many times more data than the federal contracts that were reported October 15th.
The STAR Coalition, visible at www.AccountableRecovery.org, is a national network of groups working at the state and local level to ensure that Recovery Act spending is accountable and effective.
The STAR Coalition includes leading national groups working in green jobs, smart growth, good government, unemployment insurance, community organizing, state economic policy, and equitable development.
The press conference and follow-up materials from the STAR Coalition will provide the news media with an "experts Rolodex" of spokespeople from Coalition groups that have been monitoring Recovery Act data and who will be poring over the October 30th release.
The STAR Coalition has some overlapping membership and a cooperative relationship with the Coalition for An Accountable Recovery, which held a similar media briefing ahead of the federal data that was released on October 15th.
