John Locke Foundation Launches NCTransparency.com
Thursday, July 2, 2009 2:35 PM
Our friends at the John Locke Foundation have launched a great new transparency website at www.NCTransparency.com.
According to the site's description
NC Transparency was created in an effort to encourage transparency among North Carolina’s governmental entities. It connects citizens to important information available online from state agencies, counties, school systems, and municipalities, and also points out important information that is not available.
The site also grades government based on their level of transparency. Congrats on the launch of this useful resource!
Here's their announcement, and click here to watch the JLF's Joe Coletti discuss the site.
