Why it matters

Every check Henderson County writes is already a public record — but to see one, you have to file a request and wait. A monthly check register online (who was paid, how much, for what, from which fund) lets anyone follow the money without asking permission. Many counties and cities already do this. It costs little, because the county already keeps these records.
