TRANSPARENCY

TRANSPARENCY.

Every government contract and bid should be available for the public to view BEFORE any money is spent. There would be plenty of citizens who would love to review these documents and point out ways to save money.

For example, if a contractor is charging $1.00 for a receptacle then someone could point out you can buy them cheaper at Lowes or Home Depot.

Another benefit this would have is that it would level the playing field. It would be very hard for the Good Ole Boys to award contracts to their buddies.
