State financial info may go online

They would see just how much money is being wasted by the district offices. Then they would be upset at seeing how much money they could be making if paying teachers was a priority instead of an afterthought.

This could be the start of something very interesting...

Comment #1 - It's there and has been there for many years. Go to the LG's website and you can look up contributions.

This is a great idea and long overdue. The technology exists, the need exists, all that we need now is the desire from the government to make it happen. Kudos to Senator Niederhauser!
