>excluding salaries
Salaries are the most important transaction to monitor as they represent a recurring expense and easily become inflated in the government sector.
Tax payers have a right to know what they pay for and how much it costs. What reason are you using to justify publishing private transactions?
- TomK32 8y ago> excluding salaries _if we must_ My view might be biased as I live in Austria which is well-know for government subsidies and funding. And that includes gold handshakes to send 50 yr-olds into early retirement. WHY THE FUCK!?! Anyways, my point being: Instead of outlawing big cash payments (hard to achieve in my eyes) the government has a lot of opportunities where it can show the transparency needed to re-establish trust from the plebs (sorry, citizens). I'd see publishing public transactions as a first step and private ones as a second step. I mean, all we know about that dutch-irish sandwich is fairly limited, but if those transactions had been public early on some data scientist would have said "oh, that looks funny".
