Group: Illinois has nation's worst stimulus web site

Illinois is pretty good about putting about stimulus road signs, but our prowess falls short in other areas, AP is reporting this afternoon:

A new report concludes Illinois has the worst official stimulus Web site in the country.

The report by the watchdog group Good Jobs First gave Illinois the worst ranking in its 50-state study. On a point scale of zero to 100, Illinois receive no points at all.

Researchers checked if states provided specifics on how much money's being spent in the state. It says Illinois' site has no such figures.

The study by the Washington, D.C.-based group sought to check how states are doing in fulfilling President Barack Obama's pledge that the $787 billion federal stimulus bill would strive for "an unprecedented level of transparency and accountability."
