CAC holds open the doors of government by monitoring government meetings, making recommendations that increase accountability and transparency, and taking action to remove anti-democratic policies and procedures. The Center will litigate, only as a last resort and on behalf of select citizen causes, to hold public bodies accountable.

The following are examples of CAC’s government monitoring activity:
  • Ensuring adherence to the Open Meetings Act;
  • Ensuring government body compliance with the Freedom of Information Act;
  • Investigating procurement policies; and 
  • Monitoring campaign contributions.
