Nominate Local Champions of Open Government

Do you know someone in the community who has fought for government transparency?

Patch is looking for local heroes. Do you know people in Lemon Grove who have championed local government transparency?

Lemon Grove 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. 

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

The deadline for nominations is March 7 so put this on your Must Do list right away. The winner will be honored in Washington. We'll share the winners with you.

Here’s a link to the Sunshine Week nomination form:
