This is another example of government incompetence, government waste and poor management.

It is obvious that things will never change in this country until there is a revolution. It is clearly too late for any type of civilized solutions. Very very sad.
Keep your pants on. I don't believe the media any more than I believe a politician. Any time the media says something you know that they are not telling you the full truth.

$18 million over five years is roughly $300,000 a month. I don't know what the complete scope of the project is but I'm sitting here thinking about what would be required to provide the public with "total transparency," and I'm thinking that it would take a lot. Obviously it would take office space, system administrators, servers, and a fuck load of people to input data. Then we need to consider the level of transparency that these people are talking about... is it federal only? Will it include state? Will it include county? Will it include city? That is a lot of data to input and a lot of data to retrieve from the respective parties.

Yes, $18 million "for a website" seems like an assload of money. But it also seems like a massive project.
