The purposes of this site are to:

1. Give citizens, elected representatives and governing bodies the basic knowledge to understand commonsense accountability obligations that go with issues, responsibilities and events of concern to citizens.
2. Give examples of public accountability “horror stories” in accountability and propose who had what public accountability obligations
3. Allow citizens’ groups to exchange their views, experiences and strategies in seeking full and fair public explanations from governing bodies and other office holders. This means explanation by those responsible and accountable for preventing performance failures important to citizens or dealing competently with those that occur.
