David Ige on Government Reform

Run government with open & public two-way communication

• Hold weekly press conferences to make myself accessible to the media.
• Require my department directors to be accessible and hold at least four community meetings a year.
• Work with the Board of Education to ensure that meetings are held in all counties.
• Increase community involvement in government affairs by directing all agencies and commissions to consider input from the public as essential to their decision-making. To make participation more convenient for the public and cost-effective, I will increase interactive video teleconferencing.
• Ensure that appointments to State boards and commissions are broadly representative of community interests and that appointees are committed to conducting government affairs in an open manner.
