Live online discussion on government transparency this Friday
On his first full day in office, President Barack Obama committed his administration “to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government.”
Do you think the President has done a good job of making the federal government more open and transparent? Or has his administration failed to overcome the culture of secrecy?
March 14 – 20 is Sunshine Week – a week in which we celebrate and examine transparency in government. Join Public Citizen and open government leaders in a live online discussion this Friday to find out just how the current White House administration is doing when it comes to openness and accountability.
