Sunshine Week is a national initiative spearheaded to educate the public about the importance of open government and the dangers of excessive and unnecessary secrecy. Political cartoonists have always prided themselves on illuminating the public and holding elected officials accountable. Check out their cartoons about the importance of open government in our new Sunshine Week cartoon slideshow.
