Even without as $17 million deficit, it is important for taxpayers to see where Plano ISD money is being spent. An online registry of all expenses will bring accountability to every district purchase.

"Sign the petition to send a message to your legislator!
(taken from the website)
As a taxpayer in Texas, I want all levels of government to post their expenditures online and as close to real-time as possible. This will give all citizens not only the tools for accountability necessary to make wise decisions, but increase our confidence in the effective use of our tax dollars.
In 2007 the Legislature gave Texas taxpayers access to information about how our state tax dollars are being spent – expenditures, grants and contracts. Now it's time for that same level of fiscal transparency to be available with our local taxes as well.
The Legislature should ensure all governmental entities in Texas post their expenditures in an easily accessible and searchable format that can found on the front-page of their websites."
