Pennsylvania government corruption

Pennsylvania creates online contract library

July 23, 2008: State Treasurer Robin L. Wiessmann yesterday showed off a new Web site that features a database of government contracts the public can access.

She said the state's new right-to-know law required creation of the database, known as the Pennsylvania Contracts e-Library.

Most of the law won't take effect until January, but the e-Library was launched at the beginning of the month on the treasury's Web site, www.treasurypa.org.
