Example of Transparency
The latest New York City Mayor's Report is a good example of transparency in government can help make society better. It gives citizens an objective look at what is working or not. We need to get more like this in Bermuda. To be fair, lots of our government departments do a great job in collating and producing data (e.g. the Department of Statistics), but it's generally hard to find, and the gov.bm portal doesn't do much to help.
I am a white Bermudian male in my 30s. I ran as a UBP candidate in Southampton East in the December 2007 General Election. I currently work in the reinsurance business, have a Ph.D. in computer science from MIT, and love to sail. You can call me on 325 4868 or email decouto/alum.mit.edu with your comments (swap / with @).
