Taxpayer Transparency Act 2010

This is what my September 2009 website letter to Paris City Officials was all about. http://pariskentucky.blogspot.com/2009/11/website-letter.html Transparency in our local government. Now it's time for some of you to voice your support of my website letter to Paris City Officials. Let them know you want to see were your money is being spent!!!  Tell your friends, get them involved too.

Now it is happening at state level-Taxpayer Transparency Act 2010
It is great to see that we have State Representives and State Senators that believe our Kentucky State Government should have transparency too!
State Senator Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, and State Representive Jim DeCesare, R-Rockfield, announce prefiled legislation (BR 290 and BR 128) on Dec. 15, 2009, in Room 327 at the state Capitol that would require online posting of all state government expenses in a searchable database.
This is a "Must See" press conference video for you to see and hear on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/FreedomKentucky#p/a/u/2/uhmXqYjJ4YE 

“I think this is an issue whose time has come,” State Senator Thayer said. “I think this bill can restore some trust and confidence in state government.” link to senate bill 290 http://www.lrc.ky.gov/record/10RS/SB40.htm


“We feel it’s important for the citizens of Kentucky to see where every dime of their tax dollars is going,” State Representive DeCesare said. “It can be done though an executive order, but we feel this needs to be mandated by law, so it can never go away.” link to house  bill128 http://www.lrc.ky.gov/record/10RS/HB128.htm  

We need to e-mail and make sure that our State Representive Sannie Overly e-mail sannie.overly@lrc.ky.gov and State Senator R.J. Palmer II  e-mail http://www.lrc.ky.gov/Mailform/S028.htm vote yes on these bills so it will become law!
It is sad to say, but to much corrupt spending at all levels of government is going on in this country. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BUT YOU HAVE TO SPEAK OUT TO BE HEARD.

Until next time,
