Lotsa talk about waste in government, and lotsa questions about what state government is spending their money on. Well, there is a little tool that anyone can use, it's called FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). Every state agency has to allow you to look at, and copy if you want on the state machine at 10 cents a page, any written product produced on state time. So you can go to any agency you have a question about, fill out the FOIA form, and ask for any document that you are interested in, including financal statements broken down into individual purchases (ask for the order payment form) if you want. Every dollar is accounted for - it's the law. State books are way better than any private corporation books, believe me. So those of you who are suspicious, help yourselves, all the books are open (unlike private industry). Let us know if you really find something "fishy"
