A blog posting by Jefferson County Administrator Jim Moore

Complete and accurate information is the best antidote to the spin and sometimes deliberate misinformation that has become far too commonplace in our world today. The most powerful force in a representative democracy is a well-informed and engaged citizenry. That’s what Transparent Jeffco is all about.

We at Jefferson County see transparency as a promise to our citizens to conduct county business honestly, openly and forthrightly, so citizens know exactly what goes on when public officials transact business on their behalf. It is a promise of accountability and nothing facilitates better government than openness and accountability.
