Comments on: Transparency in goverment – how refreshing http://joelhorn.com/2008/12/06/transparency-in-goverment-how-refreshing/ The View from North 59th Street Sun, 18 Mar 2012 12:21:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Joel Horn http://joelhorn.com/2008/12/06/transparency-in-goverment-how-refreshing/comment-page-1/#comment-151 Joel Horn Sat, 06 Dec 2008 14:32:49 +0000 http://joelhorn.com/?p=626#comment-151 This sounds interesting. Will be a challenge though to sift through serious people and pranksters or worse, political enemies posing as friends. This is very different than a campaign but I hope it works. Their recognition that there are some great ideas outside of the Beltway abd that they want to find them is great. Here is one quote about it: "It is a bold move on Obama's part. Down the road, when his proposals are turned into actual policy, it will be easy to see which groups won out and which ones lost in the process. That transparency could lead to accusations of favoritism and quid-pro-quos as well as hurt feelings among certain industries that felt they were stepped over or ignored." This sounds interesting.
