Governor Pawlenty's schedule says that he will unveil "the state's new government spending and accountability website" at a news conference tomorrow. Pawlenty's spokesman Brian McClung said the website details state government spending on a broad basis and would keep journalists, bloggers and geeks busy (I qualify in all three of those categories). Pawlenty is following the lead of several other states that have also put some or all of their spending online. Florida and Texas are just a few of the states that have active sites (here's a story on Florida's site). USA Today says other states are also considering such sites.

DFL Sen. Ann Rest of New Hope is proposing legislation that would also require such a database.
