Malhini: Bent sorry for your troubles, but Gookin was never denied the records. Although I believe he never intended to view them, you don't show up to view records with the press on your right arm. This is all pure theatrics, however I do believe in oversight (which Mr. Gookin is very good at) and if you truly were concerned you could review all their monthly minutes, reports, annual audits and much more already online. You can also view their monthly board meetings on cable channel 19. Even with all this it will never be enough. If you start reacting to every whim of your detractor then you will undoubtedly fail. $80 a month for food vs thousands per month for transparency that is already available. As for the cost, I don't know of any records that is available without a cost. I can't even get a copy of my birth certificate without paying for it.

Question: Do you believe the Lake City Development Corporation is transparent now?
