KUNC: Colorado started fixing it’s online checkbook days after KUNC News revealed late last month the transparency tool was missing thousands of lines of data showing how the state government spent more than $600 million.

State officials called tech support in the governor’s office and recently added to the checkbook the names of more than 16,000 businesses and people who got taxpayer money in recent years.

The update broadens the public’s ability to track individual government payments, ranging from an $18,365 check to a tourism promotion company in Australia to a $10,058 payment to a Denver law firm a state representative used last fall to defend a secret ballot system in court.
