N.C. government's open book
Gov. Perdue's office today announced the N.C. Open Book website was up and running.
I haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but the site allows you to search grants and contracts issued by state agencies. So, for example, you can find out:
- * Bennett College students got a total of $297,132 in legislative tuition grants in 2008.
- * Family Services of the Piedmont gets a whole lot of grants, including roughly $22,000 for something called "Non-Intensive Family Preservation Services"
- * the United True Holiness Church got roughly $25,000 in two separate grants, the largest for "Child & Adult Food Program"
There's some potential for reporting fun here.
