Title
Operation Clean Government - Concerned Citizens for honest and responsible government in Rhode Island
Description
Operation Clean Government (OCG) is a statewide group in Rhode Island that is dedicated to promoting honest, responsible, and responsive state government. Our primary focus is holding elected officials accountable for their official actions and ensuring a fair process in government. We are a 501(C)4 non-profit organization, with over 2,000 members.
was formed in 1993, when several smaller citizens groups merged. One of the major issues at that time was the Rhode Island banking crisis, when large and politically connected borrowers defaulted on loans, freezing billions of dollars of small depositor accounts and catalyzing citizen outrage.
National Groups
Operation Clean Government holds accountable those whom the citizenry entrust with the stewardship of their state government. Transparency in government and the citizen's access to their government are essential to a healthy democracy. OCG advocates strong democratic laws and institutions that instill public confidence that common policies are fairly debated and decided on the merits, and that common resources are used responsibly.
