There are nearly 4,900 elected and appointed state and county officials required to file annual Statements of Financial Interest (SFI), and all public employees at all levels are subject to the conflict of interest statutes and have to file disclosures if there is an appearance of conflict in their jobs or responsibilities. (See “Missed Opportunity,” in our Fall 2009 issue, for more about the law.)

CommonWealth magazine has gathered hundreds of the economic disclosures filed by all members of the Legislature, constitutional officers, cabinet members, and some of the state’s major policymakers, as well as many elected county officials. While we can’t change the law regarding access, we can make it easier for the public to see these important filings from their government’s elected and appointed stewards.
