Opacity
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 By Mike MaurerOur good friend Roak Zeller discovered something interesting on the transparency front. He thought he’d read the stimulus bill (geez, where’s the money in that?) and dowloaded the pdf.
Just one problem. Can’t search it. Our transparency titans uploaded a non-text based pdf.
Oh, well. At least we can still get copies of testimony in the Ohio House of Representatives. Oh, wait. The Speaker issued a rule saying committee chairs cannot require written testimony. Hmm. I wonder what that will do for transparency? Oh, well. It’s not as if testimony has anything to do with what they’re actually doing down there.
