Month: January 2009

The Progressive Dems are taking the lead in calling for a legislative term marked by the passage of open government and transparency legislation. The first round is TODAY January 13th, when they will be meeting with 21 state senators to urge action on HB-1. (See below the fold for the full press release.)

But what can you do in the meantime if you can’t make it to opening day?

I highly recommend writing to the Delaware State News’ “Soundoff” editor and calling out Thurman Adams by name. The Delaware State News is the “Downstate Daily” so you are sure to get the ear of Mr. Adams.

Here is the link email address: soundoff@newszap.com

The “soundoff” submissions are anonymous and editors have been open to printing satire so if you want to write, for example, that you “really don’t want to know what the general assembly is doing” and “Thurman Adams is like a wise father who keeps information that we would not understand away from us,” I would encourage it. If you want to do a more serious submission pointing out that “for the last six years, Thurman Adams has put proposed legislation to open our government into his infamous desk drawer, barring any hearing or vote on it.” That would be great too.

I’ll be watching the “Soundoff” section and reporting back on open government submissions.
