Well-deserved kudos to the folks who run Access.wa.gov, a Washington state website that helps make much of what government is doing available on one easy-to-navigate site.
The Sunshine Review, a nonprofit group focused on government accountability, recently awarded the site with an A+ grade, meaning that it's one of the most accessible state government sites in the country. From the group's report card on the site:
Elected officials are listed with contact information
Budgets are posted
Audits are posted
Contracts are posted in a searchable database
The site includes information on requesting public records
Lobbyist lists and reports are posted in a searchable database
etc.
(And a hat tip to The HDC Advance for the heads up on this.)
