Sunlight Foundation Highlights Triadwatch on Post About Plane Trip To D.C.

The Sunlight Foundation has a section of their web site called "Local Sunlight Spotlight" CLICKHERE . They wanted to spotlight the post on the ethical issues that came about because of the plane ride to D.C. which involved a local developer and local elected officials.If you would like to see what was written in the past about this issue CLICKHERE , with a title "Developer Roy Carroll's Plane Will Sit on Tarmac While The Mayor and Chairman Ponder Ethical Standards."

Below is two paragraphs from their website on what the Sunlight Foundation is about:

The Sunlight Foundation was co-founded in 2006 by Washington, DC businessman and lawyer Michael Klein and longtime Washington public interest advocate Ellen Miller with the non-partisan mission of using the revolutionary power of the Internet to make information about Congress and the federal government more meaningfully accessible to citizens. Through our projects and grant-making, Sunlight serves as a catalyst for greater political transparency and to foster more openness and accountability in government. Sunlight’s ultimate goal is to strengthen the relationship between citizens and their elected officials and to foster public trust in government. We are unique in that technology and the power of the Internet are at the core of every one of our efforts.

Our work is committed to helping citizens, bloggers and journalists be their own best government watchdogs, by improving access to existing information and digitizing new information, and by creating new tools and Web sites to enable all of us to collaborate in fostering greater transparency. Since our founding in the spring of 2006, we have assembled and funded an array of web-based databases and tools including OpenCongress.org, FedSpending.org, OpenSecrets.org, EarmarkWatch.org and LOUISdb.org. These sites make millions of bits of information available online about the members of Congress, their staff, legislation, federal spending and lobbyists.

Triadwatch would like to thank the Sunlight Foundation for having this post be a part of their blog and to highlight this for other people all over the country to ask ethical questions to situations like this one that came up in Guilford County N.C. .
