Alaska Opens Its Checkbook

I found the following information about Transparency Efforts in the State of Alaska on the Americans for Tax Reform website.

On February 5, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) announced that the State of Alaska’s check register
would be posted online. The department of administration’s website now hosts datasheets in pdf
and excel that allow taxpayers to view details for every expenditure greater than $1,000, organized by
department, payee and type of expense.

I congratulate Governor Palin and the government of Alaska for opening up the government to the people. Keep up the good work.
