The Kentucky Legislative Research Commission has added a new feature to their site that allows Kentuckians to search the expenditures of the Kentucky General Assembly. Interested in the travel reimbursements your state senator receives? How much do you think your representative is compensated throughout the regular session? You can find out here!

| This is an example of a returned search result |
The search engine allow for searches of legislators, full-time employees (the site actually calls them 'permanent' - think about that for a second...), and part-time employees (I guess you could say 'transient'...)
This new feature combined with other recent additions to the site are an encouraging step toward making Kentucky's government transparent.
Of course this doesn't mean that we will stop our hard work providing resources for Kentucky's citizens through our own transparency site with articles like this one.

What you have is just the start of what they cost taxpayers!
Don't forget their outlandish pensions and legislated loopholes to greatly increase their pension through good old boy reciprocal appointments!
Don't forget their health care benefits that none of us can afford.
Don't forget their special privileges!
Thanks for making this transparent. There isn't a better part time job in the country. And all they have to do to keep it is appease the unions. That's easy enough - no integrity, no putting Kentucky taxpayers first.
