HARRISBURG -- Want to know how much lumber the state exported last year, how much it spent on medical assistance or how many school districts offered prekindergarten programs?

Now you can find it all in one place.

The state has issued the first Governor's Report on State Performance, aimed at tracking the effectiveness of such state programs as welfare-to-work, tourism, alternative energy and more.

The 180-page report is meant as a companion to fiscal reports, Budget Secretary Michael Masch said.

"I get asked all the time, 'What do you do with all that money?' " he said. The new report, which is available online, provides insight.

"The budget is a plan, and to some degree a promise, of what we hope to deliver to taxpayers," he said, while the new report is a way to check the government's progress on that promise.

It provides data and descriptions of programs, but not evaluations of them.

"It's up to citizens to decide if they're satisfied," Mr. Masch said. "We're trying to give them the information."

Gov. Ed Rendell echoed that in a statement.

"Taxpayers have a right to know how the commonwealth spends their hard-earned tax dollars," he said. "This report provides those crucial answers. It shows we are making progress, but we have more work to do."

The report will help inform the public about the budget process, which formally kicks off Feb. 5 with the governor's annual address.

"It's easy to spend less money. The challenge is to spend less money and get better results," Mr. Masch said. The performance report will help identify "where expenditures are not getting the results we need."

Largely, though, the report focuses on the success of such administration-driven programs as Classrooms of the Future, a Rendell initiative to put laptop computers high school classrooms.

Here are a few facts culled from the report:

• Pennsylvania's high-school graduation rate was 88.6 percent last year, up from 88.3 percent the year before.

• One in seven jobs in the state is related to agriculture.

• Sixty-two percent of Pennsylvanians were considered obese in 2006.

• Twenty-two percent of residents smoke, down from 23 percent in 2004-05.

• The state Boxing Commission sanctioned 457 wrestling, boxing and kickboxing events last year, including 143 in the Pittsburgh region.

The report was compiled by existing staff members and cost about $20,000 to print hard copies for lawmakers and Cabinet members. Others can access the report online at www.state.pa.us.
