Lawmakers Face Push for Full Online Expense Transparency
Spotlight PA and The Caucus found vast gaps in reported state legislative expenses. Journalists and Temple University data experts documented unreported or partially reported costs across lawmakers. Senators Lindsey Williams and Kristin Phillips-Hill plan a bill to require comprehensive expense reporting online by the chief clerks, including travel, lodging, vehicle use, rents, and other accounts. Local lawmakers should back it, says Marty Flynn, who has long faced scrutiny over disclosures and undocumented payments. The bill aims to end reliance on in-house policy and end the need for detectives to trace public funds.
