Open Illinois Week is a collaborative effort between Sunshine Review and the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI) to make Illinois more friendly to government transparency. In May of 2009 these organizations urged county board members across the state to sign IPI's transparency pledge.

Two members of the Cook County signed the transparency pledge during the Open Illinois Counties Project. These men were Gregg Goslin[1] and Cook County President, Todd Stroger[2].

Stroger said in a personal letter attached to the pledge:[3][4]

I have reviewed the Sunshine Review Ten-Point Transparency Checklist and I am proud Cook County discloses a wealth of information on our website. A significant initiative was the redesign of the county’s website which now provides access to much of the information suggested for county websites by the Sunshine Review. As the website continues to evolve, additional information contained in the Checklist will be made accessible.
