A coalition of business and community leaders has launched Responsible Government Naples, a nonprofit aimed at promoting accountability, transparency and responsible use of public resources in city government. The group will focus on civic education, public engagement and watchdog efforts to encourage fair, community-driven decision-making.

President Branimir Brankov said the goal is to preserve the values that make Naples a desirable place to live and do business.

The organization formed amid concerns about recent actions by some elected officials, including efforts to allocate taxpayer dollars toward studies and plans to close, relocate or limit Naples Airport despite strong public support for keeping it in place.

Responsible Government Naples plans to spotlight issues affecting residents and advocate for decisions that reflect the broader community’s interests.
