Let's first make sure they consider mapping and spatial analysis as tools to convey the message of success to the visitors of the site. This requires data elements be included in the data flows from recipient agencies to ensure information is geo-enabled. 'rural utah' is not enough as iniactor of the location of a project receiving arra funds.
Vote yes on GIS!

Subject: [georss] ideas for the U.S. National Dialogue - the Recovery Dialogue on IT Solutions
This is about the Recovery.gov site and receiving ideas about IT
solutions to make it "better" to everyone. Several involve GIS and
geospatial topics. I thought someone here could make a good argument
about GeoRSS or other OSGeo ideas. It's good to see the Recovery.org
site itself runs on open source products Apache, Drupal and SIMILE Timeline.
I just heard about this today and the deadline for ideas (and possibly
the commenting on ideas) ends tomorrow, Sunday night. Who knows what
types of things they'll be able to implement within their time frame (I
read somewhere Sept 2009) but it's a cool idea nevertheless. To
register (for proposing ideas) you will need to include a U.S. zip code.
