Tax Reformers Honor Randy Brogdon
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Americans for Tax Reform announced today its decision to name Oklahoma Senator Randy Brogdon "Friend of the Taxpayer."
Brogdon is the sponsor of the Taxpayer Transparency Act, a bill that would require the Office of State Finance to create a website which would allow taxpayers to track government expenditures. The searchable database is modeled after the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (S.2590) sponsored by U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (OK) and would among other things include relevant information on government grants, contracts, subcontracts, tax refunds, rebates or credits, and expenditures from the Constitutional Reserve Fund. The bill, which would mandate the creation of the website by January 1, 2008, passed the Oklahoma State Senate unanimously on March 1st.
