Who have championed local government transparency in Acworth? Let us know!

Do you know people in Acworth who have championed local government transparency? Acworth Patch is participating in Sunshine Week 2012, which is March 11 to 17, when the news industry unites to shine a light on open (or not open) government and its importance. Patch is helping to promote the Sunshine Week organization’s national Local Heroes contest.

We’ll also be talking up, covering and conversing with you about open government and freedom of information on our site during that week so stay tuned.

This week we want to kick that conversation off with a call to action to you to nominate local open government champions who have played a significant role fighting for local government transparency.
