[edit] Open book: Tell-all Web site should be Utah's goal

"Utah lawmakers: masters of the closed-door meeting; maestros of the back-room deal; newly crowned champions of open records and government accountability. It's a welcome contradiction.

The Legislature this year authorized the creation of the Utah Public Finance Website, an Internet portal that will allow taxpayers to track how their tax dollars are spent when it comes online next May. A seven-member Utah Transparency Advisory Board, a mix of lawmakers and representatives of the executive branch, is laying the groundwork for construction with preliminary discussions focused on content and capacity."
