Dennis Daugaard As Americans, we are privileged to live in a free society where we can elect our own leaders. Democracy only works, however, when government is transparent and open about its operations, so that the people can vote based on good information. When I ran for governor eight years ago, I promised to be open and transparent. It is an easy promise to make as a candidate, but it takes real work to carry out once in office. Looking back today, I am proud of the progress we have made. Shortly after taking office, I changed state policies to make more economic development information public, including invitation lists for the Governor’s Hunt. Governor Rounds had created open.sd.gov as a state portal for financial information, and we added even more information to that site. The following year, the attorney general and I convened an Open Government Task Force to reevaluate state laws. Governor Rounds had signed legislation creating a “presumption of openness” in state records, and in the years that followed, we found ways to provide even more information. I was pleased to sign several pieces of legislation from that task force. Of course, open government is about much more than the law. A meeting can be open, but if you can’t get there, or you can’t find out what happened, it isn’t open to you. A record can be public, but if you can’t find it, it isn’t open to you. Much of my emphasis over these past years hasn’t been to change the law – it has been to take meetings and records which are legally open, and make them open to the public. How have we done that? We have made open.sd.gov better than ever before. We have made it a central portal for information about state government, and we have linked from it to other state government sites. At the suggestion of a newspaper reporter, we created rules.sd.gov. For the last twenty years, our state legislature has had an excellent, easy-to-use website to follow the legislature and track legislation. There had been no similar system to track proposed administrative rules, and so we created one. At my request, we also created a central portal for boards and commissions. I found, personally, that it was sometimes difficult to find basic information about state boards and commis- advertising pays!
