In three short years as “Nebraska’s CFO,” Shane Osborn has revolutionized the way Nebraskans interact and keep tabs on their government. It’s called nebraskaspending.com and it cost only $38,000 to make:
I believe elected officials have a duty to show the public how their tax dollars are being spent right down to the last penny.
NebraskaSpending.com is a searchable, user-friendly public website that discloses how our State government receives and spends funds in a simple and straightforward manner.
Find out his plan for transparency at the federal level that will bring real stimulus to citizens in the form of $16.5 billion worth of unredeemed savings bonds.
Living in Omaha, NE I was not aware of this site Nebraskaspending.com. I would like to share this with others, not sure how to do this.

Not much to comment on other than…Nicely done!
A man with common sense can go far in this world.
I intend to forward this information to my state legislators in Illinois. Lord knows that we need this, but I am already wondering what excuses our legislators will come up with to avoid it.
In order for anything to make sense in the Capital, it would have to come through the /Disney Channel!

Very funny!
But seriously this is OUR MONEY. When it's in our hands we know where it goes, when it is taken by government, we especially have a right to know where every penny is going. IT'S OUR MONEY! GOVERNMENT IS PUBLIC! THEREFORE EVERY SINGLE EXPENDITURE IS INHERENTLY PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE!
