[edit] The bad
- State contracts do not appear to be online.
- Site has search function but it includes many city and county websites, which makes it difficult to find state information. Site is also difficult to navigate.
- Does not provide information on state-paid lobbying and agency lobbying contracts.
- FOIA contacts for each department are listed[7], no forms are provided.
