Obama’s transparency bill needed in Richmond, too
The Washington DC Examiner Newspaper, The Examiner Jan 7, 2008 3:00 AM (702 days ago)WASHINGTON Let it be noted that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the first senator to join Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., as a co-sponsor of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 championed by a transpartisan coalition of liberal activists, conservative bloggers and assorted good-government groups. Legislators in five states have followed suit in the transparency movement inspired by FFATA, including Kansas, where the new site even allows citizens to drill down to the cost of a state employee’s lunch at Schlotzsky’s Deli. The principle here is unassailable: Taxpayers have a right to know how their tax dollars are being spent. Virginia should be the next state to act.
