It's Our Money asks you to get yr gripe on

This should be interesting

The folks at It's Our Money, the WHYY/Daily News/William Penn Foundation government watchdog project (where Doron Taussig now calls home away from grad school) are channeling their inner Allen Ginsberg and launching a site this morning called City Howl.

Sayeth Doron:

Basically it's a place for you to post (or read) reviews of city services. If you've had a bad experience with the Department of Streets, you can post about it there. If you've had a good experience with Parks and Recreation, you can post about it there. The idea is to bring the private impressions we all get of city services into the public sphere, and to hold city government accountable for both its successes and its failures.

It seems a bit like a Rate My Professor for city government that attempts to harness the awesome power of the elite, astute group known as Philly.com commenters — which is to say that the PPA page should get real interesting, real quick.
