Governmental Accountability reforms fix the machinery: procurement, oversight, transparency defaults, and administrative integrity.
These are the systems that prevent waste and favoritism from becoming normal operating procedure — even when no one is "technically" breaking a criminal law.
Step in the plan: Fix the systems where money leaks.
Why: Good people inside bad systems still produce bad outcomes.
Require bills to be publicly available for 72 hours before votes and written in understandable language.
Why it's here: Rushed, incomprehensible legislation prevents meaningful public review and informed voting.
What it unlocks: Better-informed votes, reduced hidden provisions, and improved legislative quality.
Limit abuse of 'acting' appointments that bypass Senate confirmation.
Why it's here: Extended acting appointments undermine constitutional checks and balances.
What it unlocks: Restored Senate oversight and accountability for executive leadership.
Implement blind evaluation and transparency to reduce favoritism in government contracting.
Why it's here: Current procurement allows connections and favoritism to trump merit and value.
What it unlocks: Fairer competition, better value for taxpayers, and reduced corruption.
Establish nonpartisan redistricting commissions to end gerrymandering.
Why it's here: Partisan gerrymandering undermines fair representation and voter choice.
What it unlocks: Competitive elections and districts that serve voters, not politicians.
Require webcasting and preservation of regulatory agency meetings for public access.
Why it's here: Regulatory decisions happen behind closed doors without public visibility.
What it unlocks: Transparent regulatory processes and informed public oversight.
Require the Pentagon to pass audits and account for all spending.
Why it's here: The Defense Department has failed every audit, with hundreds of billions unaccounted for.
What it unlocks: Fiscal responsibility, fraud prevention, and trustworthy defense spending.
