Thursday, June 4th, 2009 - 14:04
I’ve been intrigued by the Open Government initiative that launched May 21st.  The three-phase initiative (brainstorm, discuss, then draft recommendations for the president’s Open Government Directive) has now moved into the second phase, an online dialogue on key themes that came out of the brainstorming phase.  So what’s happened so far?

The "New" Transparency

Friday, May 15th, 2009 - 13:46
A couple weeks ago, I attended the Mercatus Center’s 10th annual ceremony releasing their assessment of how transparent agencies were in reporting their performance via their annually-required performance report under the Government Performance and Results Act.

This is my 100th blog entry!  Thanks to our many readers and contributors.  While few people post comments on our entries, we get lots of emails and phone calls.  Also, thanks to the Library of Congress for asking to preserve the site as part of its 2008 election coverage.  It’s been fun.

I see it here in the boondocks where various entities work together on common projects.
