OpenGov //. The Sunlight Foundation Year-End Wrap-Up

Still on-hold pausing to hear from Mesa City Hall, but other Year-End Wrap-Ups are streaming into the Email Inbox: here's one from The Sunlight Foundation affiliated with Bloomberg's WhatWorksCities that the City of Mesa joined in August 2015.
From Capitol Hill to city hall to parliament, Sunlight made an impact opening governments large and small, engaging citizens at home and abroad. Take a look at some of our accomplishments for 2015 below. (And follow along with our work in 2016 by joining Sunlight's opengov community here!) 

For the state and local team @ Sunlight here's what they had to say:

2015 has been a landmark year for Sunlight’s local team, as we launched our largest project to date: the What Works Cities initiative.
This ambitious, multi-year effort means Sunlight will work with 100 mid-sized american cities to advance municipal open data policy and practice at scale.
Since our first announcement of the program in April, Sunlight’s team has supported open data efforts in 13 cities and has played a key role in the adoption of four new open data policies in Jackson, Miss., Mesa, Ariz., Kansas City, Mo., and as of Wednesday, Waco, Texas.
Keep up with the local policy team's progress by following along on our blog.
