So the Internet is abuzz with the fact that http://recovery.gov is reporting that Arizona district 15 has received $761,000+ and created 30 jobs using ARRA funds.
But there is no Arizona Congressional district 15!!!
Oh NOEZZ!!!! It's a conspiracy, a fraud, a coverup of massive proportions.
Or maybe not...
Going to the secret website (secret as in hidden in plain view) http://recovery.gov and gathering data from that website with the click of a couple of links I discovered that this money went to Kivel Manor which received funds from HUD for senior and assisted living. I guess that is more than could be expected of a legitimate news agency.
And yes it is listed as being in Arizona's 15th district.
Now given that all this information is given, including an address I looked it up and guess what??
It is in Arizona's 15th legislative district.
Mystery solved, someone made a mistake when applying or reporting on the grant. A mistake, yes, probably should not be in there and it is an issue that needs to be addressed (this is not an isolated case there are many errors, unfortunately). But given the fact that this kind of thing is caught is PRECISELY because of the massive amount of transparency that is being given to the public. This is a GOOD THING!!
