By Government Editor on State Government

The state judicial system will start putting its contracts and expenditures on a government web site aimed at opening state government to public scrutiny. Gov. Steve Beshear and state Supreme Court Justice John D. Minton announced Tuesday that financial records and contracts of the Administrative Office of the Courts will be available at www.OpenDoor.KY.gov. The site also shows information from all constitutional offices, the executive branch, all competitive contracts awarded by the state and state employee salaries. Meanwhile, a bill proposed by state Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, would require the AOC, the legislature and the executive branch of state government to make information about all expenditures available online. Senate Bill 40 awaits action by the Senate State and Local Government Committee. - Linda Blackford
