There's a nice piece in the Miami Herald by Nathaniel Heller about
fiscal transparency (or lack thereof) regarding the Florida state
budget:
<http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/02/17/3237026/floridas-murky-fiscal-transparency.html>
It includes a hat-tip to OpenSpending and Where Does My Money Go - it
appears some US company named Spider Data Services has been paid $5m+
to build a transparency website similar to Where Does My Money Go [1]!
I've also posted it to the OpenSpending Facebook timeline:

BTW: the OpenSpending facebook timeline is open for anyone to post
material <http://www.facebook.com/OpenSpending> so if you do come
across a good "spending story" please do post it there!
