Run government with open & public two-way communication
Our democratic form of government requires active citizen participation. My administration will work hard to earn your trust by creating a process of two-way communication. Action Plan:- Hold weekly press conferences to make myself accessible to
the media.
- Require my department directors to be accessible and hold at least four community meetings a year.
- Work with the Board of Education to ensure that meetings are held in all counties.
-
Increase community involvement in government affairs by directing all agencies and commissions to consider input from the public as essential to their decision-making. To make participation more convenient for the public and cost-effective,
I will increase interactive video teleconferencing.
- Ensure that appointments to State boards and commissions are broadly representative of community interests and that appointees are committed to conducting government affairs in an open manner.
