This is a website for building a coalition to bring open government to Baltimore. This is just a start that will require many people from all walks of life in Baltimore to join in supporting the effort.

There are 4 fundamental pillars of open government – transparency and access; timely notification; proactive public participation; and official accountability. Together they effectively put the citizenry in the middle of their government where they can monitor and oversee the governance process while at the same time providing a means for direct input into the decision making process.
