Minneapolis government is now more transparent, thanks to a new online tool.
The city’s Financial Transparency Platform, which launched earlier this month, allows visitors of the official Minneapolis website to easily sort through the government’s budget, broken down by department.
The database exhibits the city’s involvement in a wider national trend of transparency initiatives.
Ward 11 City Councilman John Quincy said the website was created to make city financial information more accessible.
