Transparency: the quality of being open to public scrutiny.
Voting will begin this Tuesday and continue through Election Day on May 9 for Pine Bluff voters to decide whether to renew the “Go Forward” five-eighths-cent sales tax for another seven years and to consider adding a brand-new and permanent three-eighths-cent sales tax for public safety. I will be voting NO against these measures on the ballot this special election. Only with the addition of a Pine Bluff Promise scholarship opportunity as well as transparency and accountability standards will I be able to support the ballot measures in the Primary Election next March.
