Nev. transparency site graded B for accessibility
By Ramona Giwargis, Las Vegas Review-Journal
When it comes to shedding light on state spending and making those details accessible to taxpayers, Nevada ranks near the top of the class.
A new study by the United States Public Interest Research Group Education Fund ranked transparency websites for all 50 states based on content and user-friendliness. Nevada was tied for 10th nationally and scored a B for making its open government site informative and easy to navigate.
Officials from the Nevada Policy Research Institute, the think tank that publishes public employee pay and benefits, said the B grade is not a reflection of overall government transparency in the state.
