Transparency in Government

A new tool was launched yesterday that gives the public access to information about the expenditures and revenues of the Colorado state government. The new “Transparency Online Project” (http://tops.state.co.us/), provides data on the goods and services purchased with state funds, as well as a comparison of spending between agencies. The initial data view is an overall summary, but you can drill down for more detailed information by clicking on the dollar amounts. Figures are also available on incoming revenue streams, and who receives these funds.
