Description: County governments deliver many critical services to our citizens in a cost-effective manner. Yet equally important as the types of services county governments provide is the transparency with which they are provided. Citizens have greater confidence in a government that is accessible and open. Panelists will discuss citizen and media expectations regarding open government, best practices for transparency, and potential changes in State laws regarding public official disclosures.
Speakers:
- The Honorable Bill Ferguson, Maryland Senate
- The Honorable Isiah Leggett, Montgomery County Executive
- James A. McLaughlin, Associate Counsel, The Washington Post
