Summary:

" WASHINGTON — If you wanted to know who visited the White House, how much the president’s secretary is paid, or which state has the most federally funded teaching positions, the information was just a few clicks away. With a bit more technical knowledge, you could explore public data sets to analyze the president’s budget, or look for trends in government spending.

 

No more.

 

 

Dozens of data sets disappeared last week from open.whitehouse.gov, a website the Obama administration created to promote government transparency.

 

Visitors to the website now find a message saying 'check back soon for new data.' But it isn’t clear when any new data will be posted, and government watchdogs aren’t confident that it will ever happen."
