transparency in DE government

We the people of the State of Delaware believe more transparency is needed in state government, local government and those public organizations which receive state funding. Therefore, we petition the legislature and governor to enact laws which will require decision making meetings by these bodies to be open to the public and broadcast over the internet.

Why is this important?

During the Minner administration, sweetheart land deals between the DE Dept. of Transportation and select businessman occurred behind closed doors. Recently,Smyrna decided to stop the web broadcast of city government meetings. The University of Delaware does not allow the public at its upper level decision making meetings. More transparency is needed in state and local government and public organizations which receive state funds.
