Search for stimulus waste and fraud

Ready to dig into the data? You can search through all of California's stimulus beneficiaries here.

Try comparing the biggest players to those listed in the Project On Government Oversight's database of “contractor misconduct.” Or try to find a recipient of stimulus money that has been officially barred or suspended from getting any federal contracts. Such instances are sure to be rare, but the government's stimulus oversight board has already found some cases. Just run the names of stimulus contractors through the federal “Excluded Parties List System.” Let us know what you find!
