Attorney General Andrew Cuomo unveils Sunlight 2.0

This week, Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo unveiled Sunlight 2.0, a new version of his government accountability and transparency Web site that enhances the public’s ability to access and review state and local government information. Sunlight 2.0 features new data, a more user-friendly format, and innovative features to increase openness and accountability. The revamped Web site provides the public easy access to information on their tax dollars, elected officials, legislation, and other state business.

“This re-tooled Web site increases accountability and openness, and gives the public the tools to hold officials more accountable, which is more important than ever before,” said Attorney General Cuomo. “When Project Sunlight was first launched, I said that it was not a final product, but a foundation for making an even better resource for all New Yorkers. It is vital that Sunlight continues to expand and evolve as we incorporate new ideas and information.”
