Other Transparency Measures

Submitted by vaidyanathan on Sun, 2009-01-11 04:49.

Yesterday, I posted an entry about Maryland's new accountability website. There are other states and non-profits that have taken similar efforts. The ones that I came across are:

On 01/05/09, Georgia launched the Open Georgia: Transparency in Government - Not only does it provide information, but also solicits feedback from the public.

On 01/01/09, Kentucky started the Open Door: Kentucky's Portal to eTransparency. There are plans to provide a new Budget Builder Game and also educational materials.

Websites launched in 2007 & 2008

Missouri - Missouri Accountability Portal (MAP)

Nebraska - Nebraska.Spending.com

Oklahoma - Open Books: Oklahoma's Finances Online

Texas - Window on State Government

Alaska - Checkbook Online

Kansas - KanView

Louisiana - Louisiana Transparency and Accountability (LaTrac)

Maine - MaineOpenGov.org

New York - SeeThroughNY

South Carolina - South Carolina Spending Transprency

Thanks for the list! Also, Washington State has one at http://fiscal.wa.gov .
Shall we organize these somewhere, along with USAspending.gov and the nascent subsidyscope.com ?

You are welcome, Peggy.

Thanks for adding Washington State to the list. Yes, it would be nice to organize this list somewhere.

Thanks for pointing out La Trac, the Louisiana accountability website. I'm excited to see how this site will grow!
Perhaps I should include a section in the Gov Doc 2.0 wiki about this topic? I need help soon...wiki is growing and content needs to be added! ;-)
