Ethan Allen Institute Launches Vermont Transparency Portal
Thursday, July 2, 2009 4:08 PM
by Mattie Duppler Our friends at the Ethan Allen Institute have launched www.vttransparency.org, a site where Vermont taxpayers can see how the state is spending their money. The portal gives Vermonters a view into their state’s spending, revenues, information on school district spending and links to municipal websites and USAspending.gov to view contracts with the federal government. The site also provides information on the legislature, including information on how the legislative process works, links to find out who your representative is and how they voted and the Ethan Allen Institute’s vote ratings. There are also links to publications and research on state spending and the portal provides a suggestion box so check out the site and provide some feedback on what else you would like to see!
