another comment on transparency---

Thank you for this post and what a great precedent indeed!
On December 18th, 2008 Anisha says:
Here in Ramsey County, MN., we too had a Libertarian candidate, Jim 
Schottmuller who pledged he would revert to a 'reduction' in pay, assess 
the office of County commissioner, for which he was running, and cut 
'fluff', that he would guarantee transparency on the internet for all 
citizens. We were hopeful that 'change' for the good was finally coming 
our way.
All of us local Paulers supported him amongst many others. For so long 
he seemed to have the majority of support. His signs were always damaged 
or stolen.
Sadly, he did not win. The old guard won despite numerous complaints of 
corruption and mismanagement. People are so stupid and don' t pay attention.
Attending the debate with the League of Women voters, what got brought 
out in the debate betrayed the hideous administration of these County 
commissioners who had been in power for 12 years. Both district 
commissioners could barely conceal their shame and embarrassment. Yet, 
they both won despite the truth and exposure. So go figure. In Minnesota 
here, votes are pretty secure, so the chances of 'fixing' votes would 
not be realisitic. Its the complacency and stupidity of the people that 
these 'rats' rely on to stay in power.
We will continue to attend meetings more than ever now and 'demand' 
transparency knowing what we know now.
Thank you again for the positive post!
