CHEYENNE, WYOMING - A spokesman for the federal economic stimulus program is defending the program's Web site and says a Wyoming official's criticism was unfounded.

Ed Pound, spokesman for the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board in Washington, made the comments in response to remarks this week by Lynne Boomgaarden, who heads Wyoming's Recovery and Reinvestment Team.

Boomgaarden told members of Wyoming's Joint Appropriations Committee on Monday that she regards the federal Web site that provides information to the public about stimulus spending as "a mess."

Pound says any errors on the Web site about the funding of Wyoming projects are the result of bad information submitted by state government and grant recipients in the state.
