As part of the biennial budget, Wisconsin will now post to the web all state expenses over $100. It may take a while to gather data, but it’s a good idea (one of the few contained in a budget otherwise poorly crafted).
If Wisconsin can do this across so many state agencies, then surely Whitewater could post a page on the city website with similar information about our small city. Although there’s some information about spending in different spots now, a single page with easily-accessible data would be an expression of open government.
