Impact analysis
Taxpayers are likely footing the bill for staff and operations, even as the office’s failure to answer questions makes it hard to see what transparency they’re getting for the money.
City officials get a public-facing “transparency” initiative they can point to, even if the office isn’t actually fielding questions.
Residents, journalists, and watchdog groups are left without answers and with less ability to hold City Hall accountable.
