SENATE GOP URGE RENDELL TO INCLUDE GRANTS IN CONTRACTS DATABASE
By Kari L. Andren
CapitolwireHARRISBURG (July 23) — The state Department of Community and Economic Development has posted more than 400 grants and contracts on the Department of Treasury’s new contract database as required by the state’s new Right-to-Know Law.
But as of Wednesday only a few dozen grants had been posted on the website by other state agencies. And at least five agencies have not posted any at all.
The Contracts e-Library, a searchable online database for all state contracts from July 1 onward, went online on the Treasury’s Web site at the beginning of the month.
Chuck Ardo, spokesman for Gov. Ed Rendell, said grant contracts must be posted online, but that some agencies might not have formally issued grant contracts yet or that certain grants may fall into one of the exemptions stated in the law.
