TRENTON – A bill sponsored by Senator Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex) which would create a comprehensive, searchable online public record of state spending was unanimously approved today in the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation Committee.
“Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is spent, especially during these tough economic times,” said Senator Buono. “Placing state expenditures under a public microscope through which New Jerseyans may investigate and understand the state’s spending and fiscal priorities will be an ally in the on-going battle against waste and corruption.”
