SUMMARY

We found the Contract Sunshine website to be of limited value in providing the public with sufficiently clear, comprehensive, and useful information. Although the Government Accountability Board identified 95 agencies subject to Contract Sunshine reporting requirements as of November 2010, only 38 agencies had reported information during the first four months of FY 2010-11. Before considering repeal of the Contract Sunshine statutes, it will be important to ensure that a new website the Legislature required be established in 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 can achieve its intended goals at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner.
