(CNSNews.com) – The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
required that all contractors and grant recipients post signs that informed the public that the projects they were carrying out had been funded with money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) – better known as the stimulus package.
The admission comes from an EPA Inspector General’s report answering questions from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) – ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, who had previously authored a report on the Department of Transportation’s requirement that its grantees prominently display signs advertising that the project had been funded by the stimulus package.
As CNSNews.com previously reported, the Transportation Department said that it only “strongly encourages” grantees to post the signs, which are “solely used to publicize ARRA funding.”
