Barbieri dodges talk re: records bill

Rep. Vito Barbieri didn’t want to talk about his plan to change Idaho’s public records law to shield most state lawmakers’ communications from public disclosure.

Ironically, it took a public records request for the Dalton Gardens Republican’s email messages to find out what he was thinking when he proposed this legislation.

Through that public records request, I gleaned some other interesting information showing an existing lack of transparency when it comes to state lawmakers’ email messages/ Maureen Dolan , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.

DFO: Mebbe we should start calling Rep. Vito Barbieri “Mr. Non-Transparency.”
