Porkcast: lawmaker hopes new website improves government transparency in Montana

Nicholas Schwaderer has been guzzling energy drinks, eating ramen noodles and listening to the soundtrack of "The Social Network" film in his basement apartment for the last week while developing a website to shed light on government spending.

Schwaderer, 26, a Republican state lawmaker from Superior, created http://www.Porkcast.com to let the public sign up for email alerts whenever a state employee uses a credit card at Starbucks or writes a check to Staples. It draws the information from the state’s checkbook, which was put online in 2013.
