There is a dynamic of rising costs coupled with declining property values in many towns.?? This is a recipe for a continuous budget crisis.? One tool to assist the process is to show citizens how and where every tax dollar is spent.?? Posting all government worker salary and public contract information online is a great way to let concerned citizens see how and where their money is spent.?? Citizens will bring their perspective and propose better ways for their money to be spent.?? Every municipality and county government should post this information.
Show us the money!
