Schaffer proposes expenses be public

State Board of Education members would post their expense accounts online under a resolution that could come up for a vote next month.
Apparently no other Colorado board posts its members' individual expenditures.
Board member Bob Schaffer offered the motion after criticism from legislators that the seven-member panel spends too much on travel and meals.
Schaffer, a Republican running for U.S. Senate, said posting the expenditures might put the criticism to rest.
The resolution could come up for a vote at the board's May meeting at the earliest.

What could it hurt knowing how much each board member spend while doing their job.Also might cut dn on the fraud that some people take advantage of.I think I would want to know what they are up to.Also don't you want to know if they abuse the trust of the people.At least we get know what is going on all the time with their spending habits.
