Daily Reflector: Open government only system
November 3, 2011
From the Greenville Daily Reflector (11/3/11): A system that operates in full view of the public it serves should be considered the only acceptable form of government. Anything less — officials who operate in secrecy behind closed doors or who try to keep information out of citizens' hands — violates North Carolina law, but also compromises a relationship that depends entirely on the consent of the governed.
