NH Governor Launches Transparency Website
Monday, June 21, 2010 10:46 AM
by Julie Borowski Last week, New Hampshire launched its inaugural transparency website. The site, while a step in the right direction, is fairly basic. It posts monthly spending reports in pdf or excel format, which is a lot of data for the average taxpayer to digest in one sitting. Also, the website includes information such as federal stimulus spending, monthly revenue reports and state contract information, but this information too is in one lump data dump. We hope that Governor John Lynch continues to fulfill his promise of increased transparency by granting taxpayers access to even more government expenditure data in the next few months – we would like to see searchable and sortable components that allow taxpayers to more easily sift through expenditure information, and a greater level of detail so taxpayers can track, dollar for dollar, where their money is going. In the meantime, check out the new transparency website and let us know what you think!
