Brady Calls for Transparency On Debt Front

On the one hand, it would limit the ability of the state to prioritize. On the other hand it would give the general public a better handle on just how much money Illinois is spending:

“A candidate for Illinois governor says the public deserves to know more about the state’s debts and which ones are being paid.

Republican Bill Brady is proposing a law requiring the state to disclose all the bills it receives from businesses and contractors. The information would be posted online, and the state would be required to pay the bills in the order they’re received.”
