Eichenberg promises transparency subcommittee.

Those who have been fighting for transparency in state government will have a time, a day, and a place to stand up for what they believe in.

The Government Restructuring Task Force is scheduled to meet again on July 29th and 30th. Task Force Chairman, Senator Tim Eichenberg, link, has promised to put on the agenda, the creation of a subcommittee whose task will be to make recommendations on restructuring state government with respect to transparency. A half hour will be set aside to solicit members from the Task Force who are willing to serve on the subcommittee.

I have long considered transparency to be the fundamental issue in any real reform.

What other reform amounts to a hill of beans in the absence of real transparency in its creation and implementation?
