Mission Statement
From Ohio Sunshine
OhioSunshine.org is dedicated to transparency and accountability in Ohio government. The site is a wiki, a publicly open online source of information that can be edited by everyone.
Our mission is to serve as a convenient place where Ohio citizens and others with an interest in ensuring that government is open, honest and accountable may join together and work to ensure that government data is available to everyone. This includes government officials and offices at all levels that might find OhioSunshine.org a convenient place to post information that is commonly requested, thereby reducing their own burden while simultaneously easing the burden of citizens seeking information.
We welcome all efforts, regardless of individual views on the political issues of the day, to ensure that our governments are doing all they should do to keep citizens informed.
The tone of OhioSunshine.org is "just the facts." Anyone interested in characterizing information found here is requested to give that a second thought and see if it is possible to avoid doing so. If such persons continue to believe that characterization is necessary, the style of OhioSunshine.org is to establish a "overview" link toward the top of any page where this is necessary, so that competing viewpoints may work themselves out in that forum.
We also encourage everyone to view our sister site, Sunshinereview.org, a national wiki effort dedicated to open and honest government.
Persons interested in the Center for Transparent and Accountable Government at the Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions are welcome to visit us here.
