As founder of
WikiLaw.org, I believe that the Government and its body of law should be
transparent for the people it governs. As founder of
VoterSearch.org, I believe that protecting your right to vote is essential to an
accountable government. As former Co-Chair of
Community Board 8's Communication Committee, I worked to
open the community board by announcing
community board membership applications and ensuring they were widely available at meetings. I have continued my work with
Community Board 8's Communication Committee and we have made its television show "
Community Board 8 Speaks" available online.
As your City Council member I will continue the work of making City Hall
transparent by making its business available online through the web, PDF, podcast, and YouTube like videos. I will
openCity Hall by creating NYC.OpenLegislation.org, a local version of
OpenCongress.org, where anyone will be able to share their views on all business, in support of the mission of the
Participatory Politics Foundation. City Hall will become
accountable to you the people as NYC.OpenLegislation.org, will let you track business before City Hall and how your representative voted on issues of importance to you.
