Increasing accountability and transparency for your tax dollars

As the Legislature continues to reorganize and shrink state government, we’re building in greater accountability and transparency when it comes to how your tax dollars are spent.

Iowans can see how their taxpayer dollars are being used to create jobs, grow our communities and attract good businesses in the Iowa Department of Economic Development’s recently released annual searchable database.

You can search the database for the IDED’s job-creation efforts by company, city, county, and tax credit or economic development program. Just go to http://www.iowalifechanging.com/AnnualReport/2009/searchdatabase.aspx
