"There's little point in opening government records to the public if the information is too difficult to find, sort through or taxes the everyday understanding of the average Vermonter. Too often that's the case with what we get from Montpelier, especially when it comes to the budget.
In keeping track of our government, the budget is always a good place to start. There's little Montpelier can do without spending our money. That means the spending plan often speaks more clearly and loudly about how state government affects our lives than all the public pronouncements of our elected officials and bureaucrats combined."
