PROOF

Public Record Of Operations And Finance Statement of Purpose Creating Transparent and Accountable Urban Local Government through reporting and disclosure and open budgeting, while fostering a growing constituency of citizens who are engaged in their same. There is a transparency gap at the last mile of government that prevents urban residents knowing where their taxes are spent in the most important area of all – their own neighbourhood. This translates directly to the poor quality of infrastructure and services that negatively impact our quality of life. Transparency and accountability (provided by government and demanded by citizens) will plug the ‘leaks in the bucket’ of municipal finances, and give urban residents the quality of life they deserve.
