WTVH-TV, Channel 10 (Syracuse, N.Y.):Residents of Binghamton, N.Y., are now able to use a public kiosk in the town's City Hall to see precisely how their tax dollars are spent. The new, interactive budget module is available via the Internet and the Web-enabled kiosk. The deployment is part of the city's effort to make the budget-planning process more transparent for its citizens. Users also can manipulate figures and create their own mock budget with the tool.
