David Billings: Why Open Government Matters

Everything Forks, published by Dave Billings, has a great little essay on the importance of open government. "It is hard to imagine a greater trust between a local official and the public, than the promise of open and honest government. This trust is a bond that enables the public to maintain faith in its public institutions."

    The Clown Prince Obama is working hard on his transparency as we have seen so far

    I believe in Open Government. That is why I support Charlie Dertinger for Northampton County Council.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
