Featured Website: Transparent Utah
Monday, July 26, 2010 12:08 PM
Utah continues to improve and expand its website on transparency. As part of the state’s efforts to inform taxpayers of state spending, visitors to Utah’s transparency site can now get information on school district spending. The site allows taxpayers to search higher education, K-12 systems and local school districts. It also offers users a simple way to search for school districts, allowing visitors to look at expenditures under different categories such as employee benefits or property. CFA applauds Utah’s efforts to increase transparency – after launching the website last year, it has already taken the initiative to push the local aspect of transparency which, is the next frontier for spending transparency. Check out the website here and let us know what you think!
