Good news in the good government category: the state's sunshine portal will be unveiled Thursday at a press conference in Albuquerque.
The site promises a ton of public information in one spot, including the yearly budgets for each state agency, with a categorized monthly expenditure list, a monthly summary of the State Investment Council's investments, info on all state employees, positions and titles and revenue the state is receiving, broken out by category. In addition, it will have a regular update of the state's check ledger.
If it works as promised, this will be a super handy tool for anyone who wants quick access to accurate information about how taxpayer money is being spent.
Sen. Sander Rue, who sponsored the bill to create the website, called it a one-stop shop.
"With the click of a mouse, the public can more actively participate in its state government. This one-stop shop website allows members of the public to more readily and easily become engaged in how government runs with our tax dollars," he said in a statement.
So far, it sounds like the site will quickly become a favorite for those following state government.
