Project Sunlight Project Sunlight is a website designed to promote your right to know and monitor government decision-making. The website – the first of its kind in New York State - offers a new prototype for how government should make information available in today’s “digital democracy.” The website promotes transparency in government by making easily accessible information about individual Elected Officials, campaign finance activities, legislation, lobbyists, state contracts, and registered corporations and charities. You may perform advanced searches and examine seven different datasets or follow simple search options to easily explore governmental information. The website also offers educational videos and materials to inform you about the basic laws governing official conduct as well as an instructional video on how to use the website. To view how to use this website, click here.
Sunshine Review The mission of Sunshine Review is to create a place where regular people have the opportunity to breathe new life into the political system by demanding a transparent and honest government. Sunshine Review collects and shares information about government transparency, openness and accountability at the state and local level.
