Colorado Spending Transparency

The democrats on the House Education committee may have killed the legislation but they cannot kill the momentum for transparency.   Our friend Ben DeGrow alerted us to an article in American Thinker that asks the same question COST does nearly everyday:

in Colorado, Senate Bill 57, also called the Public School Financial Transparency Act, which simply require public school districts to put their spending online, died in committee. How could any responsible public official forbid parents from seeing how their tax-dollars are spent educating their children?

American Thinker lays the blame at the feet of taxpayer-funded lobbying associations such as the Colorado Education Association.   COST exposed the education lobby’s strategy to kill SB 57.  Apparently lobbyists and those who hire them have something to hide. Anding insult to injury, these lobbyists are paid with taxpayer dollars.
