We are very excited to announce the launch of the official Kamal Jain for Auditor campaign web site.  This will be the place where you can follow the candidate, issues, news and commentary.  The site will be updated regularly, and will be as interactive as possible.  We look forward not just to keeping you informed, but also to hearing from you.  The campaign will be as open and transparent as possible, to serve as an example of how Kamal Jain will run the State Auditor’s Office when he is elected by the people of the Commonwealth.  We want the site to be as easy to browse and use as possible and welcome all constructive feedback.

Central to transparency will be a citizen portal to government spending.  Because transparency is so important, we are not waiting to begin to make government financial accessible to the people.  Funds are being raised to purchase “public” information from the state government, and to engage attorneys to assist in acquiring the data as necessary.  Read the story of Kamal Jain’s attempts to get this information to date.

The citizen portal will be operated as a separate site at MassTransparency.com, and we will work closely with individuals and organizations who are also working on various facets of transparency to make it a key resource for anyone living in Massachusetts.
