the cutting edge of transparency

Trying to find the link to a story I was told about, mentioning a Virginia city that has started posting every check it writes on its website. (Locally, this would have been over Radio IQ.) I've not been able to find the link - help? Supposedly aired within this past week.
Response by poster: Wow, that's amazing! Good for Ohio. But I'm in Virginia, and my source was firm on these details. We'd be more likely to impress our officials to try something similar, if it were happening in-state.

Maybe talk to the Virginia Coalition for Open Government. https://www.opengovva.org/transparency-news-13018
Or the Sunlight Foundation. https://sunlightfoundation.com

NYC does this too, though the sheer quantity makes the data a little hard to manage.
