For three sessions, Senator Rand Paul has led the charge to open the books on the government royalty complex with the Royalty Transparency Act. Last week, during a meeting of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, he acknowledged the role of Open the Books in pressing the federal public health sector for more transparency.
Later during the same meeting Senator Joni Ernst entered a statement into the record acknowledging our late founder, Adam Andrzejewski. Our comprehensive report on royalties paid to government scientists by pharmaceuticals was his final publication, capping decades of work to advance spending transparency at every level of government.
