Elections are the time when politicians pay the most attention to people and issues. It's, therefore, the best time to ask them questions about how they plan to govern. OMB Watch wants the public to help figure out the best questions on government transparency that can be put to the candidates. This election year, one of the most important issues we face is ensuring an open and transparent government, one that enables an informed citizenry. Government openness affects every issue from budget and taxes, to the regulatory process, to non-profit advocacy. Because these issues are of central importance, it's equally important to be sure the right questions are asked. The range of questions included in the survey tries to reflect this breadth and provides participants with opportunities to speak out on issues that are most important to them. Take a few minutes and vote on your five favorite questions on the issue of government transparency and openness. We will then share the top questions with news media and organizations that have direct contact with candidates.
