I wrote a couple days ago that state Rep. Jim Christiana was having a news conference about a bill calling for an 'online transparency database' and that I'd try to get more info about what it was.
Well, here you go:
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and the Washington Observer-Reporter, HB 1460 would make all state spending available in an online database. The O-R reports that would even include "lawmakers' everyday purchases from their expense accounts."
And the T-R reported that former Rep. Bill DeWeese, who was Democratic leader during the Bonusgate scandal but has not been accused of wrongdoing, said had the database been in place, Bonusgate would not have happened.
If you want to keep an eye on that bill, you can get more info here.
