Bos, Neil Maybe There is information that is benign, and there is information that can be explosive.

If we start today we might get improved transparency over the next decade, but it will be a long haul.

Gaspar, Brian Yes Well governments have been avoiding this topic for years. It would provide more accountability to our businesses residences and restore confidence in our municipal leaders. Where business especially the larger corporation s have been leading the way and becoming more open with there business expenditures and sharing information by all means it not perfect but we have come along way to share certain business goals with employees and other and business partners.
