Double Duty for Rhode Island Open Books
I wrote about a new transparency site for Rhode Island last week, but neglected to mention the other groundbreaking site there- the Ocean State Policy Research Institute‘s Transparency Train. This website works to publicly display budgets, payrolls, contracts and the monthly check registers for every city, town and school district in Rhode Island.
It looks like Rhode Island has twice the transparency now, which is outstanding. I can’t wait to see what’s uncovered with these two sites sniffing out waste and inefficiency.
