A new report from a Massachusetts consumer watchdog said it is becoming easier for the public to find out how their state tax dollars are spent.
Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut were among 14 states that graded the highest on an annual report card for financial transparency.
The Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group looked at what spending data is available on line and how accessible it is.
MassPIRG legislative director Deirdre Cummings said it is a lot easier for people to follow the money now than it was just five years ago.
" This is good news," she said.
Vermont was graded a “ B-plus” in the MassPIRG report. Three states, Idaho, Alaska, and California got “ F’s” in the report.
