RICHMOND- Governor Timothy M. Kaine yesterday launched an interactive Web site that allows citizens to review measurable performance targets for state agencies and institutions, and to monitor how the Commonwealth measures up from region to region and compared to other states. The Governor also announced creation of $3 million in grants to allow state agencies to act upon innovative ideas submitted by citizens and others for delivering low-cost, efficient government services.
“This transparency provides our citizens with useful information and encourages our state agencies to remain focused on measurable results,” Governor Kaine said. “This should reassure Virginians that their taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely, allowing individuals to review our challenges at a regional level, learn which state agencies are working to address those challenges, and then having easy access to information on how well these agencies are performing.”
