A Republican wants Arkansas to join the at least 32 states that already have a similar program.
From TheCabin.net:
Lt. Gov.-elect Mark Darr calls a proposal that would establish a website to provide information about Arkansas’ spending and revenue “a good first start” in state government becoming more transparent.
The proposal for the upcoming legislative session by state Rep. Ed Garner, R-Maumelle, would require the state Department of Finance and Administration to develop the website by Jan. 1, 2012. Darr says such “an online checkbook” would help expose and prevent government waste.
