Many Gov’t Agencies Still Missing Required Transparency Sites - ProPublica

Many Gov’t Agencies Still Missing Required Transparency Sites - ProPublica: "To the novice observer of transparency, the Obama administration’s directives ordering a more open government [1] should apply to all agencies -- right? Not necessarily, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Last December, OMB ordered [1] government agencies to create “open government” pages, which it said should provide opportunities for public input. Via our handy Transparency Tracker [2], we’ve been following which agencies have followed through and created open government pages. The directive required them to do so by Feb. 6.

After that deadline passed, some agencies still did not have open government sites [3]. It’s now been more than two weeks since the deadline, and at our last check this morning, 27 of 64 independent agencies don’t have such sites."
