Editorial Praises Center's School Transparency Efforts

The Center's "Show Michigan the Money" project is an "idea that makes sense in this information age," according to an editorial in today's Port Huron Times Herald.

Thanks to the project, an increasing number of public school districts are agreeing to put their checkbook registers online for taxpayers to inspect.

"The principle is simple: State taxpayers deserve to see how public dollars are being spent," the editorial said.

A full list of schools that are cooperating with the Center's transparency efforts is available at www.mackinac.org/9329.
