Publicly available to the public on how their local government scores on fraud and which prosecutors are not prosecuting fraud, waste and abuse.Transparency - This is central to holding government accountable. Making data accessible, reporting data where it isn't being reported currently. Improving the ease of access to that data by the general public. Minnesotans can then make informed votes and hold their local governments accountable at the ballot box when prosecutors fall short. Empowering local leaders to make informed decisions by ensuring easy access to the data they need.Fiscal Responsibility - Creating a fraud risk dashboard rating local government entities on their risk for fraud, waste and abuse based on their practices. Empowering the public and local leaders to make changes to improve their rating and creating incentive by making that data public. Government makes better decisions when they know someone is watching. The effect? Long term financial stability that is incentivized and encouraged.
