“I believe in opening the books and letting you see exactly how nearly $90 billion in commonwealth money is being spent,” said State Treasurer Joe Torsella. “We’ve done just that by launching Treasury’s Transparency Portal.”
The portal, unveiled June 5, will provide residents with an easy way to look into state government spending and understand where resources are being allocated. Three years' worth of expenditure data are available to look at and compare.
"The commonwealth is facing serious budget shortfalls," said Torsella in a statement. "Pennsylvanians need to hold their government accountable, and the Transparency Portal will serve as a vital tool in keeping them informed about how and where their hard-earned money is being spent."
