The American Society of Newspaper Editors (for the 5th year in a row) have declared this week to be “Sunshine Week.” Media organizations throughout the country will be promoting openness and transparency in government.

To mark “Sunshine Week,” Cook County Commissioner Tony Peraica signed the Illinois Policy Institute’s “Transparency Pledge.”

IPI is leading the charge for transparency in government - and we urge you all to visit their OpenIllinois.org blog, as well as their packet, “How to Achieve Transparency in Government.”

Congrats to Commissioner Peraica for signing the pledge - and to IPI for fighting for open government in Illinois.

UPDATE: Thanks to the Illinois Policy Institute for highlighting Tony’s signing of the Transparency Pledge.
