Locke Foundation Raises Currituck’s Transparency Grade

On 01.04.10, In Issues, Local Party Information, By Currituck Democrats

Currituck County is pleased to learn that the John Locke Foundation has raised the transparency grade of the county’s website, CurrituckGovernment.com to a B.

This proves that Currituck is one of the leading counties in North Carolina in regards to providing public information online in an easy-to-use format.

Currituck is one of a small number of counties in North Carolina that received a grade higher than a C. Of the state’s 100 counties, only Wake and Mecklenburg received an A grade and just 20 counties, including Currituck, received a B from the foundation’s NC Transparency program.

NC Transparency has been created by the John Locke Foundation to encourage government transparency. The foundation rates the website of each county, state agency, school system, and municipality, and identifies which areas of information is unavailable. In July, Currituck County received a C grade for its website.

Among the many public information items available on the Currituck County government website are comprehensive annual financial reports, audit reports, county budgets, health expenses, revenue report and salaries.
