For my 2nd installment of 24 days of Local Sunlight, I want to give a shout out to Kansas Meadowlark, for an excellent collection of watch dog news and some independent research.  Kansas Meadowlark has been researching campaign donations for   years and now regularly contributes his expertise to Kansas Watchdog.  I especially like the resource page that points to open records information and  links to other watchdogs in the state.  This blog is a great collection of good government information that helps keep lawmakers accountable. Kansas Meadowlark is definitely one of my favorite transparency bloggers.

“I’m not surprised at all that government transparency and accountability advocates are recognizing Earl’s (Glynn) work,” said Franklin Center President Jason Stverak. “He is a credit to the journalism profession and I am proud that he is on the staff at Franklin.”

Read for yourself why Sunlight Foundation is praising Earl Glynn by following his investigative reports at www.kansaswatchdog.org and his featured work at www.watchdog.org.
