strong "words" from trib editors

"If legislators refuse to do the public's business in full public view, they should lose their seats at the public table."

the statement accompanied a list of those legislators who voted against the public's right to watch its business being conducted.

strong "action" would be to create a list of those legislators
who have not yet signed their name in support of transparency.

and then publish that list every day until those legislators
either sign or resign.

fulfilling the newspaper's obligation to inform voters and
enabling readers to participate meaningfully in their government by communicating their interests to their representatives.

lest the editors "be exposed as the hypocrites they are."
