By passing an #OpenData policy, the City of Burlington demonstrates public commitment to lasting #transparency & #accountability to residents. Fostering collaboration by drafting policy in the open & soliciting public feedback are best practices in #Burlington.
Exciting news! Yesterday @BTVMayor announced the City’s First Open Data Policy. Developed using best practices established by @SunFoundation and in collaboration with @CodeForBTV, the policy provides the framework for the City's #opendata program

We envision cities led by govts that empower residents through access to information & participatory practice. We believe in a future where #transparency is established - through sunshine laws and #opendata policy - & practiced in a culture of #accountability & collaboration.
