Vison statements are not transparency.  State agencies should be required to post detailed spending information on-line.  All of it is taxpayer money and the taxpayers have a right to see how it is managed and spent.  Wait.  I have a "vision" for Michigan... I see a continuation of mismanaged taxpayer money and continued debt.
