The first task is not to redesign public governance. It is to require public institutions to comply with the duties already imposed upon them.
We will identify current legal requirements, audit present compliance, explain deficiencies to the responsible public body, track corrective implementation, and pursue enforcement when necessary.
A better system cannot be built upon the unexamined abandonment of the existing one.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant. But disinfectant can also leave a sterile environment: exposure may reveal a defect without supplying the durable public space needed to understand it, develop a workable cure, and verify that the cure was implemented. The answer is not less Sunshine. It is to pair transparency with an open, traceable process for correction.
We will also develop better ways to govern in the public sphere without waiting for government to invent them. One model is a persistent, open working channel—similar to Slack—in which source records, questions, proposed cures, responses, and implementation remain visible, searchable, and trackable. Public officials may be invited to participate within the law, while any board deliberation and final vote must occur through a properly noticed public process that preserves every applicable Sunshine requirement.
