Government Transparency: Part II

In researching how other local governments (including many here in Illinois) are striving to become more transparent, I came across the following website of the Illinois Policy Institute. One of their major projects is called the Local Transparency Project. As part of the project, they conduct "transparency audits" of local governments. You can read all about it by clicking on the link above. One page of their website provides a list of items that they believe should be provided on a local government's website, their rationale and examples of Illinois local governments and others (including links to those government websites) that provide such information. Sunshine Review is another resource for government transparency.
