>@getcivicpro was created by a team of policy wonks who were frustrated with how difficult it is for regular people to navigate local government. And, they wondered, if this could work for citizens and civic groups, could it work for newsrooms, too?

In @cityoftopeka, the banner in City Hall encouraged residents to visit the city’s #opendata, #performance & #openbudget portal:
