People say that sunlight is the best disinfectant. But for sunlight to be helpful, governments must be transparent. Yes, there are things that must be kept secret, but that should be the exception, not the rule. Today, I want to look at some examples in the news of issues with government transparency. If, as I have often said here, those we elect to office are our employees, shouldn’t we know what they are doing? How can we judge the quality of an employee if we cannot see their work? Perhaps, since the year is new, this would be a good time to resolve to demand more transparency from our employees in government.
