Open the Books was founded in 2011 on a simple principle: Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is going and how it’s being spent.
Americans are paying “property taxes to fund local education, so wouldn't you like to know where that money is going?” asks Matthew Tyrmand, deputy director at large of the Florida-based nonprofit Open the Books.
Working at the federal, state, and local level, Open the Books files thousands of Freedom of Information Act requests every year with the aim of obtaining and publishing government spending records.
For every state in the U.S., Open the Books publishes a “checkbook” detailing how much the state spends annually and on what.
Tyrmand joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” as part of this week’s money and transparency series. He share the history of Open the Books and takes time to honor the organization’s founder, Adam Andrzejewski, who passed away unexpectedly in August.

A leftist agenda known as ESG, or environmental, social, and governance, aims to "push politics into business," according to OJ Oleka, the new CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation.
State financial officers are under pressure from the Left to invest in businesses’ commitment to the ESG agenda at the risk of sacrificing their “fiduciary duty to get the best returns possible” on investments, says Oleka. He took the reins at the State Financial Officers Foundation Tuesday.
As part of a three-part money and transparency series, Oleka joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to pull the curtain back on what ESG is and how it might be affecting your local and state economy without your knowledge.
Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks joins the show following the conversation with Oleka to explain how ESG policies and the Biden administration's climate agenda are hamstringing land usage in Utah.

Alliance Defending Freedom challenges a law banning abortion pill reversal, which would have prevented Mackenna Greene from saving her baby. When Mackenna Greene took the abortion pill to end the life of her unborn daughter, she immediately knew she had made the wrong choice. Greene said she googled her options and found Chelsea Mynyk, a nurse-midwife at the life-affirming Catholic medical center Bella Health and Wellness in Englewood, Colorado. Mynyk prescribes abortion pill reversal medication to women who regret starting a chemical abortion. "I'm the luckiest girl alive to be looking at this girl's face," Greene said. "And thank goodness that the reversal was successful."

Americans have a responsibility to be civically engaged in their communities and when it comes to solving social challenges, faith-based communities have the best track record, according to Stacy Blakeley, the CEO of The Policy Circle.
During a study examining the foster care and refugee crises today, The Policy Circle, a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging civic engagement, discovered that “faith-based groups [be they Christian, Jewish, or other] had a remarkable ability to solve for the social challenges in our communities,” Blakeley tells "The Daily Signal Podcast."
This begs the question, according to Blakeley, why are faith communities “so much more effective, for instance, than a government program?” That question led The Policy Circle to launch the Faith and Civic Life Initiative to explore the role religious organizations can, and should, play in addressing some of America’s greatest challenges.
The new initiatives kicks off Monday with an event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Blakele joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share the unique mission and history of The Policy Circle and how Americans across the country can take part in the Faith and Civic Life Initiative.
