Sunlight Foundation: Obama = Transparency FAIL.

The Sunlight Foundation blog got on the case of Barack “Most Transparent Government in History” Obama today for not following up with a promise to post all non-emergency legislation to WhiteHouse.gov 5 days prior to signing. This practice was designed to allow time for public comment and review. Unfortunately, President Obama didn’t follow it on his very first opportunity, the signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

It is too bad they let this transparency promise slip on the very first piece of legislation that hit the President’s desk. After a few transparency wins for the administration, it looks like they’ve hit their first fail.

Not good…Not good at all.
