Transparency in State Government

Previously on WMD, I highlighted an idea that BizzyBlog mentioned that would require the state legislature to put the roll call votes on their website so that everybody could see how their representatives in Columbus are voting.

Lincoln Logs weighs in with some background on the Democrat who was behind the original bill... I'm not real sure how much of that really matters though, we need bodies in the legislature that will support the idea and Garrison appears to be one of those. I'm much more willing to sling mud at her if she changes her mind on the issue... She may very well be all the things that Lincoln Logs suggests, but on this issue, she is the kind of Democrat we need...

I still think that the best way to get this done is through the statewide ballot initive approach... Hell, it worked for the smoking nazis...

UPDATE: Even the all-knowing Russell of the BackStreetBoys is on board with this one... Maybe I'm not seeing something...... Just kidding, Russell...
