Back from Hiatus

So much has happened since my last post (which is partly the reason for it taking 3 months for me to post again). Massachusetts has a new Governor-elect, Deval Patrick and the Massachusetts Campaign for Open Government has a newly designed website. We also have updated the list of those cities and towns that are posting their important governance records online. In March 2006 there were only 24; now there are 40. Not a huge increase, but it's a start.

The Massachusetts Campaign for Open Government is a project of Common Cause of Massachusetts. Common Cause plans to formally announce the newly designed website and the launch of the campaign on Monday, December 11th. Hopefully by next year, at least 120 communities will have all their governance records posted online.
