Indiana received a "C+" when it comes to government spending transparency, according to a new report ranking states on online access to spending data.

"Following the Money 2013" is the fourth annual report of its kind by the U.S. PIRG Education Fund.

"State governments across the country have become more transparent about where public money goes, providing citizens with the information they need to hold elected officials and businesses that receive public funds accountable," said Alec Sprague, Federal Field Organizer with INPIRG. "But Indiana still has a long way to go."
