""""Governor Chris Christie has launched a new and improved transparency website for the state of New Jersey. While the site only provides aggregated, quarterly information and the 2010 spending data won’t be available until fall, it does provide taxpayers with information on revenues, salaries and agency expenditures.  In addition to providing fiscal transparency, the website includes all executive orders issued during Governor Christie’s administration and a “performance program” that is being developed in three stages to measure each government agency’s effectiveness.  We look forward to developments on this site and learning more about how taxpayer dollars are being spent in New Jersey. Check out the website here and let us know what you think!
