New Castle County Executive Thomas P. Gordon announced an ethics reform package.
Gordon worked with County Chief Administrative Officer David Grimaldi, Councilman Bob Weiner (R) and Council President Chris Bullock (D) in drafting the proposal that disclose all vendor agreements, employee salaries and freedom of information equests. This information will be posted on our newly created webpage, www.nccde.org/open, which already contains 2013 contract data. “I am pleased to collaborate in this bipartisan initiative to foster good government and transparency in County government” said Weiner.
This proposal will require new vendors to disclose, on the bidding documents, campaign contributions made to County Officials within the previous 24 months. It will require legislators to disclose the authors, in whole or in part, of proposed legislation. Godeon said the public has a right to know which, if any, special interest group took part in the advancement of legislation.
