SMARTMoraga is an independent, non-partisan community organization focused on good governance, fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability in local government.

 

We believe residents deserve honest communication, competent management, thoughtful planning, and responsible stewardship of public resources.

 

SMARTMoraga began in 2017 when a group of Moraga residents with backgrounds in business strategy, finance, operations, project management, law, communications, and organizational leadership came together following the Town’s declaration of a “fiscal emergency.” As we examined the underlying issues, broader concerns emerged regarding transparency, governance, financial management, and public accountability.

 

What began as a small grassroots effort has evolved into a respected community voice on local government matters. Today, SMARTMoraga serves as a source of news, analysis, perspective, and civic engagement for residents seeking informed discussion and constructive oversight of local issues.

 

Over the years, our work has included analysis of ballot measures, Town finances, major projects, governance practices, elections, public safety matters, and long-range planning issues affecting Moraga’s future. We have supported measures and initiatives when we believed they were well-conceived, transparent, and in the community’s best interest — and opposed those we believed were not.

 

We are not opposed to government, nor reflexively opposed to taxes. We support effective local government that operates with integrity, accountability, and respect for the community it serves.

 

SMARTMoraga represents a variety of viewpoints and perspectives, united by a shared commitment to good governance and fiscal responsibility.

 

We welcome informed discussion, civic participation, and community involvement.

We are a source of varied perspectives and opinions with a unified focus on good governance and fiscal responsibility.  We welcome you to join us.
