Coalition Uses Collaborative Software to Further Transparency

Since its beginnings in Spring 2007, the Show Me the Spending Coalition, a growing group of over 30 organizations, has stood firmly committed to transparency in government spending. Today, the National Taxpayers Union announced that the Coalition has partnered with one of its members, the Sam Adams Alliance (www.samadamsalliance.org), to create a collaborative transparency portal.  Thanks to Wikipedia-like software, now everyone from Coalition members and staff to citizen activists will be able to share transparency news with others, and to update their states' transparency pages.
