NJ takes baby-step towards transparency

It’s unclear if it was done to be spiteful, but regardless I’m happy to announce that in his last days of office New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine has launched a transparency website. The website www.nj.gov/transparency/ lets constituents search through databases of state spending, revenue and purchasing. What is does not do is let them see line item expenses, which is how wasteful spending is exposed. So, c’mon New Jersey and jump on the line-item-expenses-with-search-capability band wagon already!
