Congress Readying Major Push For Internet Transparency

What an absurd notion it is to think the general public has the right to know what politicians are doing. This is madness!

Through a set of almost-radical changes that most Americans would probably view as common sense, the incoming GOP majority is set to approve rules saying that legislation must be posted online three days before a vote and that committee amendments will also be publicly posted. Politicians' formal votes in committees will also be disclosed, and audio and video recordings will be permanently posted "in a manner that is easily accessible to the public."
