TRANSPARENCY: Work required, do your part

Next to affordability, transparency is a hot topic in politics today. “Transparency! We demand more transparency!” But what does that mean exactly? Transparency is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed.

I have found local government to be very transparent. From Post Falls City Council meeting agendas and the DOGE Dashboard at the Idaho Legislative website, to the websites of various urban renewal agencies and the Idaho Transportation Department, if you know where to look you, you’ll find transparency.
