Opening The Books In Illinois:  Basic Transparency For Better Government Please click here to download the Policy Brief as a PDF. (Chicago, Ill.)  Do Illinois citizens deserve to know where their tax dollars go?  Less than ten years ago, a state audit found that many of our public officials didn?t think so.  More than two-thirds of requests for public documents, the study found, were turned away at local offices.  More than a quarter of them were denied altogether. One researcher told a ...

Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

FamilyFoundationBlog.com: Transparency Bills Breeze Through Senate And House; Not So Fast

February 25, 2009
The good news? The Senate today accepted Ken Cuccinelli?s (R-37, Fairfax ) floor amendment to conform HB 2285 , patroned by Delegate Ben Cline (R-24, Amherst ), to his  SB 936  by a unanimous vote. The House, meanwhile, unanimously approved SB 936. Sounds all so cut-and-dried, let?s-send-it-to- the-third-floorish, right? That?d be too easy. Here?s what happened late this morning. As you will recall from yesterday, Senator Walter Stosch (R-12, Henrico) raised concerns that language in t...
