​Partnership for Public Good Principle
Challenge 12:

Representative, accountable, and transparent government. Making state and local government more democratic, efficient, and accountable will require campaign finance reform, the curtailing of independent authorities, and increased regional cooperation, along with close attention to issues of patronage, contracting procedures, ethics, public input, transparency, and the enforcement of existing laws and regulations. Elected officials and government offices should recognize the value of public participation. Broad resident input results in better policy that is more likely to be implemented successfully. To strengthen local democracy, residents’ voices should be heard and valued by the elected officials that represent them.
