"The Georgia Public Policy Foundation is our state's leading organization promoting government transparency. The Secretary of State's office shares the Foundation's commitment to transparency and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, which is why our agency was the first in Georgia to publish its budget and spending data on a public transparency website.
" - Karen Handel, Georgia Secretary of State
