Should states open up accounting to the public

In a recent editorial at PennLive, they express the need for states to open up their public accounting records to the public. The tax payers should know what their taxes are being spent on. They can also begin to have a say on the budget cuts, because it's their money that is funding the state, therefore the public should have a say on what says and what goes.

What do you think? Should State accounting records be opened to the public?
