[edit] Projects
[edit] Transparency in Government
MCPP inaugurated the Transparency in Government Project summer of 2008. The project's goal is to promote ease of access to public records in Mississippi via state and local level websites. The center chose Madison County's web site to be a model for other counties to follow. The Madison County website already offered a fair amount of information for taxpayers to peruse; at MCPP's suggestion, they will be expanding the amount of information available.[2]
[edit] Legislative votes
MCPP's website has a page which presents the state legislature's votes on each day.[3]
[edit] Vital Signs Interactive
Vital Signs Interactive allows users to access the statistics used by MCPP in their research and create their own graphs and listings.
[edit] A Stone's Throw
A Stone's Throw is the first movie released by MCPP. Focused on school choice, the film "demonstrates the desire of Mississippi parents, teachers, pastors, and students to have more public school options."[4]
