Open Government - South Dakota

Recently, the South Dakota state government created Open SD as part of an open government initiative. This portal currently "provides financial information about state government, in a searchable format, which currently includes over 106,000 different financial records." The hope is that this site will only grow and provide more information to the citizens of South Dakota to help make informed comments and decisions.
