Transparency in government, no less than transparency in choosing government, remains a vital national interest in a democracy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe transparency in government is key to restoring our nation's faith in its elected leaders.
To restore and keep the public's confidence in the integrity of their government, state government and its officials must be open, honest and transparent.
The essence of good government is trust.
Democracy is our commitment. It is our great legacy, a legacy we simply cannot compromise. Democracy is in our DNA.
Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.
Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.
Good governance with good intentions is the hallmark of our government. Implementation with integrity is our core passion.
Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
Democratic accountability means that governments must be popularly accepted, with citizens empowered to replace corrupt or incompetent rulers.
Transparency is not about restoring trust in institutions. Transparency is the politics of managing mistrust.
