Our president-elect likes the idea of government transparency, we learn in the latest Newsweek:
Ellen Miller, director of the Sunlight Foundation, which advocates for government transparency, expects technology in an Obama administration will have two components: transparency and connectedness. Transparency means using technology to open the windows of government, allowing all Americans with a computer to supervise the officials they’ve elected, starting with Obama. The president-elect has talked about crafting a user-friendly portal where people could look up and comment on legislation before he signs it.
Maybe North Carolina?s Obamaphiles can help push for more transparency in Tar Heel state government, an idea that would please Chad Adams and Joe Coletti.
