That's a start...

I read an interesting blurb in the USA Today. Rhode Island State Treasurer Frank Caprio has announced that his office will use Tweeter to post the states daily cash flow. A daily post will show all money coming in - and what money is being paid out of the states general fund in an effort to increase the state government's transperancy. This particular action may not be front page news, nor a revolutionary idea, but I must commend Mr. Caprio for his efforts to make his office and state government in general more accessable to the very people who's tax money allows that office to operate. I would like to see our Federal Gov. take similar steps that might actually help repair the large distrust that many of us feel when looking at our governments both on state and federal levels. Kudos Mr. Caprio.
