West Virginia earns an “A-” for Transparency in Government

Transparencywv.org received one of the highest possible rankings, an “A-”, for transparency in state government from the United States Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG). This latest award stands in stark contrast to last year when the State received a failing grade in the U.S. PIRG’s first annual “Following the Money” report. For 2012, U.S. PIRG states West Virginia showed the most improvement among states to, "…become a leader in Transparency 2.0." In addition to U.S. PIRG, West Virginia recently received an "A-" from the Sunshine Review for transparency in State Government.
