Delaware fall short on good government benchmarks
This week the Better Government Association (“BGA”) released the 2008 BGA-Alper Integrity Index. The Index ranks all fifty states on the strength of their laws relating to transparency, ethics, and accountability in government.
How did Delaware do? The First State ranks near the bottom. 43rd to be exact.
That’s down from #38 on the 2002 rankings.
Don’t take my word for it, read about it for yourself:
The Better Government Association was founded in 1923 as an independent, non-partisan government watchdog. Their mission is to combat waste, fraud, and corruption in government by conducting investigative research and litigation to expose problems; researching policy solutions promoting transparency and accountability in government; and using internship programs to train the next generation of investigators and public interest lawyers.
