Transparency and Accountability
Transparency and accountability in government- two of our key goals here at the Cost Cutting Caucus. And it seems to be a trend that is catching on.
Earlier this month, the Buckeye Institute in Ohio, announced the formation of a new Center for Transparent and Accountable Government. They will focus on collecting and making available to the public "state and local government budgets, employee contracts, public records policies and other information."
We think it sounds like a great idea, and we wish them much success!
For more, Jayme Siemer from the Sam Adams Alliance interviewed the new director of the the Center, Mike Maurer. They've posted the interview on the new website we told you about yesterday: No Taxation without Information.
