ATTORNEY GENERAL CUOMO’S OFFICE BRINGS PROJECT SUNLIGHT TO OWEGO


Thursday November 19, 2009 6:00 p.m.

A representative from Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s office is
speaking to Owego residents about giving the public increased
access to information on governmental decision-making processes. The
presentation will be given by Dennis C. McCabe, Assistant Attorney
General-in-Charge of Cuomo’s Binghamton Office.

Project Sunlight, the first government transparency initiative of its
kind in New York State, provides easy access to campaign finance,
lobbying, agency contracts, member item, and legislative databases. New
Yorkers can go on the Project Sunlight website to see where their tax
dollars are being spent and how their representatives are voting on key
issues. Attorney General Cuomo recently unveiled Project Sunlight 2.0, a
new and substantially updated version of the site. Among the new
features are information about local government and elected officials,
an interactive map, the 2009-2010 state budget, and bill jackets from
2007.

This event is part of Cuomo’s broader statewide outreach efforts to
inform the public about Project Sunlight and how it can be utilized. For

Members of the public are invited and encouraged to attend this event.
This event will be open to the press.

The event will be held at: Tioga County Legislature
Auditorium
