Governor’s integrity survey flunks most states

Governor’s integrity survey flunks most states

The Washington-based Center for Public Integrity (CPI) gave most states a poor grade on their laws regulating governors’ personal financial disclosure statements
  • Written by American City & County Administrator
  • 26th July 2007

The Washington-based Center for Public Integrity (CPI) gave most states a poor grade on their laws regulating governors’ personal financial disclosure statements. According to a recent CPI survey, only Washington received an A, while eight states received Bs, nine received Cs and 32 received Ds and Fs.

The CPI survey addressed four major areas of governors’ filing requirements, including the frequency of filings, the level of detail required, the public’s ability to access the filings, and the states’ ability to audit the governors and enforce the disclosure laws. It also included questions on what other elected officials were required to file personal finance disclosure reports. A complete ranking of each state and the methodology of the survey are available at http://www.publicintegrity.org/StateDisclosure/.
