State officials and candidates running for public office file a Statement of Economic Interests with the Government Accountability Board (GAB) every year. Each report identifies a public official’s financial relationships and those of his or her immediate family. The idea behind this effort is to make your government transparent by sharing information about employers, investments, real estate, commercial clients, and creditors.
However, in reality the information has not been readily available to the public…until now.
Previously, individuals or groups who wanted to review these records had to travel to Madison and fill out a form identifying themselves. Included on the form is an acknowledgment that failure to properly identify yourself or your purpose is punishable by up to a $5,000 fine and jail for up to a year.
We at the MacIver Institute believe such a notification has had a chilling effect on the public’s right to know and clouded what was intended to be a promotion of transparency in government.
The MacIver Institute has put this information where the public can actually find it, the internet.
Using this site, anyone can now look at a pdf of the Statement of Economic Interests for all 132 state legislators. Doing so will not trigger a notification to the public official whose records are being examined.
We believe the fundamental right of the public to know basic information about their public servants is too important to let the politicians keep it hidden in a back office none of us ever knew about.
We would like to thank the GAB staff for their assistance and cooperation.
This effort is only the beginning. We will add Governor Doyle and other branches of state government soon.
