The cities of Wisconsin have been active in increasing the availability of legislative information on the internet, thereby providing for greater government transparency. Currently three of the five most populous cities in Wisconsin provide their constituents with internet-based access of all public records directly from the cities’ databases. Wisconsin cities started to make this a priority after Milwaukee began doing so, on their page, in 2001. One such city, Madison, has been named the Number 1 digital city by the Center for Digital Government in consecutive years. <ref>[[wikipedia:Wisconsin#Politics]]</ref> | The cities of Wisconsin have been active in increasing the availability of legislative information on the internet, thereby providing for greater government transparency.
