Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is pushing to make it easier for the public to examine Senate expenses, such as salaries for staff, travel and office operations.
Coburn is seeking to make expense records available online through an amendment to the fiscal 2010 Legislative Branch spending bill Monday afternoon.
While the records are already computerized, his amendment would "make it available so everybody in the country can see it," Coburn said. "So if you see something that doesn't look right, you can hold us accountable."
