Hey, what a great idea;
Cody Schulz; Morton County Commissioner: “OpenGov is a web-based software platform that will allow our citizens and the general public to look at budgeting, information, revenue, financial transactions. You’ll actually be able to go online and see any transaction with a particular vendor, it’s searchable that way, or by category. If they want to see how much money we’re spending on public safety verses parks and recreation, that kind of data will be available.”
OH, but it gets better;
Cody Schulz; Morton County Commissioner:”We want them to be able to voice their opinions to us on how their money is spent.”
An elected official actually advocating for public input? And this isn’t in California or Austin, TX this is MANDAN, North Dakota!
