President Obama's First Steps on Transparency and Accountability

"Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency."

Via TPM:

• Over a hundred senior staffers making over $100,000 per year will have their pay frozen at current levels.

• There will be a two-year waiting period for any former lobbyists to work on issues for which they had previously done lobbying work.

• Extra openness will be practiced with any information that the Administration might want to keep secret.
