Jim Zachary: Open government is much better government

Open government is good government or, at the very least, it is better government.
In order for government to be of, by and for the people, it must always be out in front of the people.
Government at all levels — local, state and federal — belongs to the governed not to the governing.
As has often been said, we are the government and the government is us.
All the business transacted by government and all the money collected and spent by government belongs to the public.
However, public oversight is only possible when government is open, transparent and accessible.
Nefarious deeds happen in the dark, behind closed doors.
