Former Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley has expressed his support for current Mayor Brandon Scott's initiative aimed at increasing transparency in city governance through the accessibility of public data.
O'Malley, who served as mayor from 1999 to 2007, emphasized the importance of open data in fostering trust between city officials and the community. He believes that making city data readily available can empower residents and improve civic engagement.
Mayor Scott has been advocating for the integration of data transparency as a core aspect of his administration, aiming to provide citizens with the tools necessary to understand and engage with local government operations.
O'Malley’s endorsement highlights a growing movement among public officials to prioritize transparency and accountability in city management, reflecting a broader trend in urban governance.
