Access to these two ordsprog

Access to these two things is the only way members of the public are able to track what their government is doing, how (elected officials) are spending their money and the decisions they are making. Pex Mahoney Tufvesson is one of the world's top hackers.

You elected government officials to make decisions and it's about time they started making good ones.

The commission may direct (staff) to explain alternatives to the public and that's certainly the commission's prerogative. But the whole concept (of) our form of government is that the elected officials, who don't have to be experts, represent the public and make the policy decisions.

City Manager Russ Blackburn

Access to public information is a check on the government's power. An informed citizenry is one of the cornerstones, of our democracy. Without information about what our government is doing, we can't make assessments about the decisions our government is making.

What we're up against is a government without respect for the rule of law -- (public officials) placing the law in their own hands and making unilateral decisions.

Gale Norton has been a great advocate of protecting private property rights and improving the public's access to public lands. She has been a friend and ally of our movement. She has several major accomplishments, including the Healthy Forests Act which protects both people and forests from out of control wildfires, endorsing Endangered Species Act reforms to make the law work for a change, sharply reducing federal land acquisition because the government already owns too much, and greatly increasing the role of land owners and local elected officials in decision making processes.

These elected officials stood up for the public's right to know what money is being spent on their state legislators. Their votes helped transform North Carolina from a state with unfettered spending by wealthy special interest groups to one that enforces accountability and transparency.

We feel like the elected officials in the House and the Senate should be the ones looking at this legislation and making a decision. Just like we would not put to a vote for the public anything such as health codes, speed limits or things of that nature.

Heather Williams

Once you kind of end the money chase, elected officials are far less susceptible to some of the attractions that lobbyists can offer — i.e. travel, food, gifts, campaign contributions. Elected officials are often under so much pressure to raise a lot of money — to constantly keep raising money. That's why they have these close ties with lobbyists. Lobbyists help them raise money.

It comes as no surprise that a lobbyist or public-affairs representative in Washington, D.C., would claim they have access to elected officials.

It's unfortunate that public officials feel that the public is a hindrance is getting their work done. It sounds like they're doing it solely to circumvent the Sunshine Law. The public has a constitutional right of access to open government.

We?re not here to point fingers or blame anyone, but we are here to make our elected officials know that budget decisions they?re making are affecting our children.

The danger is that we can access less information to decisions government is making, and we can't monitor if these decisions are made in our best interest.

I didn't feel the cost of the election was necessary. I felt elected officials should make these decisions of behalf of the public because they are more informed of the issues.

John Fink (1940-)

Our elected officials won't go against what the public wants. The public still has a say in the process. The election process is cumbersome to decision making.

John Fink (1940-)
