Bringing Transparency to Government

Yesterday, City Councilman Bill Peduto and City Controller Michael Lamb announced that a reform package to bring transparency to City Government, which was passed by City Council in May, will take effect on January 1st, 2010.

“It was a historic day for Pittsburgh when City Council passed the reform package in May,” said Councilman Peduto. “The changes that Controller Lamb and I are implementing are an important step in ending pay-to-play politics in Pittsburgh.”

Controller Lamb and Councilman Peduto have been working for the past 7 months to create a user-friendly system that will make the City of Pittsburgh government more transparent and accessible to all.  The new tools for transparency will include lobbyist registration, the disclosure of lobbyists on all RFP responses, and a new searchable dataset of all campaign donations.
