To the degree the desire is to hold public officials accountable, what 
they do is more important than what they say.  Moreover, outcomes are 
more important than outputs.  Reporting them in open, standard,

of the GPRA Modernization Act (GPRAMA), is key to moving beyond rhetoric 
to achieving results that matter.
