The first expense I looked at at the DEM was April's FEES: MISCELLANEOUS and every expense was redacted. The DEM spent $12,337.97 in April on unknown fees. If fees continue for a year then there will be $148,055.64 of expenses for no known reason.
If I understand correctly, based on the Attorney General's Guide to Open Government in Rhode Island, 5th Edition, the redactions do not need to be explained. However, given that $148,055.64 is no small amount of money, some explanation, within the spirit of APRA, should be given for redacted expenses.
