| What Happened |
| Following a VOSD story last month, San Diego’s City Council moved to require its business improvement districts to more prominently announce their public meetings and key information about their operations. |
| The Problem |
| Our original story revealed many of the city’s business improvement districts weren’t following California’s open government or public records laws. |
| The Changes |
| Councilmen David Alvarez and Carl DeMaio pushed for the increase in oversight, saying they were concerned about the issues our story raised. They said the city needed to require more transparency and accountability from them. |
