From For the Good of Illinois…
We opened the books. We posted the payroll and pensions of virtually every public employee from every level of Illinois government. Click here to visit the new website.
Open the books on your local taxing body. See how they are spending your property, sales, and income taxes. Then, please forward this email to your entire address book.
Our purpose was to help you answer a simple question, “How much does my government cost?” For the first time in history, you can quickly and privately find an answer.
We’ve posted a quarter trillion dollars of government spending. From 2010 alone, our website contains over 900,000 individual salaries, retirement pensions and workers compensation claims.
Let us know what you think. Join the conversation on the blog.
Once you see what government costs, you might be angry. Let’s channel that emotion constructively. Public officials that make decisions regarding public payroll and pensions need to be held accountable.
My promise was, “Open the books.” Today, the books are open.
