[edit] The good
- The county includes comprehensive reports of independent audits conducted in 2006 and 2007, including a corrective action plan to improve the county's financial procedures. [1]
- There is Kauai County public document search engine. [2]
[edit] The bad
- There is no contact or biographical information about any of the individual County Council members. Only a general email address is provided as a means of public communication. [3]
- While the website's headline declares "County of Kauai: Bringing Government to the People", so far the website isn't bringing government transparency to the people.
- There is no information on how to file a Freedom of Information Act.
[edit] Lobbying
In 2008, Kauai County reported $50,000 spent on lobbying. [4]
