Nominate a Hero Who Has Demanded Transparency

Sunshine Week is coming and we're looking for public information hawks.

Do you know people in Goose Creek and Hanahan who have championed local government transparency?

Goose Creek Patch is participating in Sunshine Week 2012, which begins on March 11, by promoting the Sunshine Week organization’s national Local Heroes contest. We’ll also be talking up, covering and conversing with you about open government and freedom of information on our site during that week so stay tuned.

This week we want to kick that conversation off with a call to action to you to nominate local open government champions who have played a significant role fighting for local government transparency.
