Louisiana scores a C+ for government website transparency

Government transparency watchdog organization Sunshine Review has released its first ever assessment of “proactive disclosure” on state, county, city and school district websites. Based on the group’s 10-point transparency checklist — including current and archived budget information, contracts, lobbying activity and contact info for elected representatives — the state of Louisiana scores an overall C-plus, 33 out of 50 states for website transparency, just behind Montana. The top-ranked state was California. Nebraska scored the lowest.
