“The Transparency in Government Act of 2008 is a broad
legislative effort intended to make the work of Congress and the executive
branch more transparent by creating laws and regulations that would bring more
information online and available to the public in a timely manner. The draft
legislation is an amalgamation of bills that have already been introduced,
along with new provisions. If enacted, it would create historic changes in the
way the executive and legislative branches provide information to the public,
and Sunlight foundation
believes it would foster a better and more complete understanding by the public
of how the government works.”
