Happy Sunshine Week! We’re taking some time and space this week to celebrate our recent investigative work based on public information, talk about the value of open government, and empower you to take ownership of what’s already yours — the data and work product generated by local and state government — and use it to help guide your own decisions about how your local governing should work. Thursday we’ll have a members video call to talk about the importance of public information, featuring Megan Rhyne of the Virginia Coalition for Open Government. On Friday we’ll release the results of our regional public audit of twelve local governments. Today, I’m going to peel back the curtain on some of our work.
