The system is broke - we need to fix it. Open Government has the opportunity to re-build the trust needed between politicians and citizens to make their communities better than they are. An open gov framework focusing on principles of transparency, accountability and citizen participation allows strategic directions to be set and innovative initiatives to address the goals of the framework.
