StateSpending.Org

The latest Progressive States dispatch highlights a fascinating report on transparency in state government spending. The report, by Good Jobs First, evaluates each state's websites and their disclosure of subsidies, contracts, and lobbying. Each state gets a ranking- check out the report to see where yours ends up.

Hopefully sites like FedSpending.org, which will soon have a government-run counterpart, can serve as a model for states to follow.
