Talking Transparency
http://speedgibson.powerblogs.com/posts/1194316799.shtml


   Maybe you heard Grover Norquist on The David Strom Show this week. He
   was speaking about "transparency" which is simply putting data on the
   web in its raw form. It may take a geek or two to make sense of it,
   but that beats having to file Freedom of Information requests that may
   still just provide incomplete or misleading.
   On the ballot in the Hopkins School Board election are six candidates
   vying for four open seats. Only one is an incumbent, so at least three
   fresh faces will be elected, hopefully four as the incumbent was part
   of the statutory operating debt surprise.
   One candidate is talking transparency, even accountability: Jamie
   Wellik. Despite his Masters in Political Science, I'd vote for him if
   I lived in this district.
