I’ve drafted a letter to Bruce Ennis, but I thought I’d leverage the power of the internet tubes and make it an “wiki” style document that you lot could add to or edit. In the interest of time (and full disclosure) I should note that I’ve already borrowed from Dana Garrett.
Comment away.
Bruce,
As a constituent and supporter who walked with you while you knocked on doors in my neighborhood, I am writing to you to urge you to support pending legislation that would make nearly all records of state and school district expenditures accessible to the public by placing them online as well as a resolution to change Senate rules to open the public hearing process.
As you know, we Democrats are now playing catch-up and have allowed the Senate Republicans to steal the issue of good government from the Democratic Party. However, you now have an opportunity to correct the misperception that good government is a Republican concern by providing a co-sponsorship for the transparent reforms that have been proposed.
Thank you for your commitment to good government, and for providing leadership on this important issue.
