Transparency of Calcasieu website
The Good

- The website includes a 2008 budget, but no budgets for earlier years.[2]
- Contains information on zoning and permits.[3]
The Bad
- No information is provided about how parish residents can request access to public documents of the parish under Louisiana's sunshine laws.
- Parish audits, contracts, and tax information is not online.
