While Burlington figures out just how it wants to communicate with its residents a reader popped us a note saying it is all about Open Government and Open Data.
“Pepper – we were talking about ‘open government’ and organizational transparency as an element of accountability. I have attached a link to the provincial government directory. It continues to evolve, of course, but a version has been in place for over 20 years. They don’t need to create ‘best practices’ in Burlington, they can simply adopt or adapt them.”
The Gazette has found that Burlington has never been very keen on giving citizens direct access to staff. Provincial government does it – they’ve been doing so for more than 20 years.
Try it out – the link is there for you.
