Government transparency through data
Via Government Technology, "municipalities
across Kansas are mobilizing information to inform the citizenry and drive
government performance."
Examples of
initiatives:
- "In the state capital, Topeka officials just launched a new performance tool that puts government metrics online."
- "Johnson County recently kicked off a data-driven justice initiative."
- "Olathe and Wichita have open data efforts underway."
- "In Kansas City, Kan., a new data portal is pulling information out of government systems and delivering it directly to the people."
Some of this was
accomplished in concert with a program
called What Works
Cities, a Bloomberg Foundation initiative to use data-driven results to
improve municipal government.
Why put government
offices on full display? "The goal is not to shame agencies, but to
promote positive action."

- Leaders need to be transparent.
Transparency can be
a helpful factor for integrating faith and achievement. It removes motivation
to take shortcuts and otherwise make provision to take the easy way out.
