[Open-data-census] Govt spending - item level

Mon Nov 10 16:20:54 UTC 2014

Hello everybody,

I noticed that this question about how detailed transactional level counts
is still without answer. I think that it is a pity, because it is an
important one :)

I'll be glad to know your opinions!

Sincerely,
