Transparency
To be able to participate fully in democracy citizens need the ability to contact and interact with their elected representatives and government administrators. A government that is transparent and accountable to its residents is a more effective government.
Over the past few years, we have made great strides towards reaching this goal. The 10-Point Transparency Checklist ensures citizens have access to public information including:
- Contact Information
- Public Meetings
- Public Information
- Budgets
- Audits
- Expenditures
- Compensation
- Contracts
- Lobbying
- Taxes
