What? Some good news brewing in Frankfort?

With all the runaway government spending and bailouts as far as the eye can see, it's pretty easy for an active Kentucky citizen to get discouraged about the way things are going now. There may be some good news on the horizon, though.

House Democrats in Frankfort have held back spending transparency and Gov. Steve Beshear has run it around in circles, but it appears Senate Republicans are ready to make a move in favor of the people's right to know where their money is going.

Just found out about a government transparency expert coming in from Virginia in the middle of this month to testify to the Senate State and Local Government Committee. I'm trying to track down details...

Meanwhile, the spending transparency movement is catching on in Louisville. And if you are on Facebook, please join one of the two Kentucky spending transparency groups (here and here).
