When I served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 2007-2011, my number one priority was making state government more transparent. At the time, votes taken by legislators in committees (and those are the most important votes) were not posted online. The only way a member of the public could access them was by travelling to Annapolis and requesting them in-person. I changed all that with the Legislative Voting Sunshine Act. Now those votes are promptly posted online and everyone can easily see them.
