Open Government Scorecard
summary
Claims the open-data push has stalled: agency plans are mostly aspirational, with 12 of 30 agencies listed no data for future publication and only 75 new data sets promised. Data.gov is prettier but shallow; Recovery.gov and USASpending are flashy and unreliable. An analysis comparing USAspending and CFDA finds $1.3 trillion of broken reporting in 2009, making aggregate spending figures untrustworthy. A few agencies post useful files and visitor logs, but enforcement and consistent, accountable publication remain missing.
