Mayor Sharon Weston Broome launched Open Checkbook BR this morning, a companion website to the Open Data BR portal, which will provide “unprecedented” public access to city-parish spending data. The Open Checkbook BR website launch marks the final open-data release for 2018 in accord with the city-parish’s open-data policy adopted by Broome and the Metro Council in 2017, according to a press release issued by the Mayor’s Office. The new website allows the public to easily access and understand city-parish departmental spending down to the “check level,” consistent with open-date standards used nationwide, according to the release.

"Disparity study"?
Aka, how can we get more money from the rich and educated and just give it to the poor and uneducated.

Study should be renamed to "get off your arse and go get a job" or "a good place to go when you're broke is to work" study.

No, it trolls the tax payer when they see how the money is actually being used.
