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. |
