State Comptroller Susan Combs' Open Book Texas and Texas Transparency Check-Up sites are getting pats on the back from no less an authority than the Sunlight Foundation, a DC-based nonprofit committed to government transparency:
Everything about this project is fantastic. Of course, the next step is to make these sites more interactive and more supportive of citizen input. Financial transparency is one of the easiest and more popular steps that can be made to make citizens feel their money is valued. Budgetary processes should be transparent, everybody pays taxes and that means they are invested in what the state does. So good job Texas for not only making their process more transparent but advocating for more transparency across the state.
