I am sorry I made it all so confusing . Hopefully, now that it's shorter, it's clear. ????


SandraT I was only joking, because of what you said in your last line "I am sorry I made it all so confusing"

What you explained so well about "Transparencia a la vista" and "Transparencia en la mira" are two separate issues under one umbrella.They both come under "accountability and Transparency".
The goverment has to be transparent and accountable so you can "watch it" in an uncomplicated ( or user-friendly) manner.

How do you watch your government? (a la mira)
By tracking all the government grants, contracts, earmarks, loans, etc
Where?
on the internet or by a government provided user-friendly search engines like google, and database where all the federal grants, contracts, earmarks and loans can be tracked.

Transparency (a la vista) just happens when the government becomes accountable -because you can access the information from your computer.

So whether it is transparency "a la mira" or "a la vista" , they both come under the general umbrella of "Accountability and Transparency"
