Taxpayer Group Announces Government Spending “Transparency” Web Site

The 362,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU) today joined with the online resource Sunshine Review in the next major step toward building a collaborative community of advocates for government “transparency.” NTU has integrated its Show Me the Spending Web site with Sunshine Review’s Wikipedia-like site that enables people to find and share information about whether state and local governments are effective, accessible, and responsible with tax dollars. Now, anyone from think-tank staffers to taxpayer activists can edit the site, available at www.showmethespending.com, to reflect transparency news and updates from their respective states.
