"The U.S. Public Interest Research Group, a consumer-focused nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., released its annual report on state transparency websites in March 2015. The report, entitled "Following the Money," measured how transparent and accountable state websites are with regard to state government spending. According to the report, Alaska received a grade of F and a numerical score of 43, indicating that Alaska was "Failing" in terms of transparency regarding state spending."  Perhaps people need to be more diligent in obtaining accurate information on where state spending is actually going.
