The Open Illinois transparency pledge is a transparency pledge for open government in Illinois. According to the transparency pledge penned by the Illinois Policy Institute:
Support any and all efforts to implement full, comprehensive transparency in government, requiring open budget books on one, easy-access, searchable and user-friendly website. This website would include all expenditures, including contracts and grants, and would provide the details of payments, their purpose, and who authorized the payment; Engage in full disclosure of all my spending decisions and make revenue and expenditure data as open, transparent, and publicly accessible as possible.[1]
