Your Wisconsin State and Federal Tax Dollars, Program Revenue, and Segregated Funds At Work


Website will detail all state expenses over $100. (Wisconsin State Journal, 7/15/2011
 
The articles notes that Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch says there's no firm deadline for the information to be loaded to the website, but they are working "diligently" to provide spending details.  [Emphasis added.]

Who are "they"?  And where are "they" finding the time to do this?  Personally, I won't be satisfied until "they" scan and post each signed and dated invoice.

Perhaps -- surprise, surprise --  this is nothing more than posturing, as the disclaimer seems to hint.

The expenditure data presented on this page is unaudited financial information from the state's central accounting system. It is not presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or adjusted for state budgetary reporting. The state's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is prepared by the State Controller's Office in accordance with GAAP and available [here].
