Assembly chair Chris Constant says the new program allows the public to access city financial records without filing a records request.
Anyone can now go online to access the city of Anchorage’s spending and other financial records without filing a records request. The city launched its newa year ago. Assembly chair Chris Constant said he and other members were having trouble getting contracts and other financial records from Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration — and they wanted more transparency.
Constant admits the new website is a little dense, but he said it provides information pertaining to a wide range of financial data. Currently the financial records in the checkbook go back to 2018, though Constant said the goal is to have it compile up to 10 years of historical data. Constant said he’s hopeful that the new online checkbook will make Anchorage’s government more transparent, as well as relieve city staff of the burden of tracking down records.
