The architect of Nebraska’s State Capitol had it right. Etched in facade is a challenge to present and future generations of Nebraskans to be “Watchful Citizens.” This website is a tool for those awake, alert citizens who care deeply about the stewardship of the public trust.
At NebraskaTransparency.org, it’s our hope that armed with solid information about public spending, programs, projects and pay, you’ll be able to speak truth to power. It’s our belief that if every taxpayer holds their elected leaders accountable for their public actions, we’ll have a government that reflects the people’s will, not political winds.
Now that you have the facts, get to it! Call, email, write, speak up. There’s no time like the present.
