Check those Checks

Suburbs secede from Cook County? Not likely. But here's an idea. Mary Laney, Sun Times:

My friend Mick came up with an idea as a group of us had breakfast one recent morning. "I think every single check the city, county and state writes should be registered with the name of who signed it, who it was written to, the address of the recipient, when the check was written, for what product it was written, and it should all be posted on the Internet for anyone to read," Mick said.

Check those checks, follow the money.
