Shine the light, Mr. Davidson.

J. D. Davidson wrote several columns regarding "sunshine" in government. I agree that, as a rule, things shouldn't be done in secret. However, there are some things that need to be discussed without the public in general being prematurely privy to them.

At any rate, I question if Mr. Davidson is doing his job. He says, "What's more troubling . . . is individual school board members or council members talking one-on-one or three at a time about issues or situations or concerns about the city or school systems . . . It's this type of whispering we must demand stop."

Mr. Davidson, please tell us about the information you have on who, when, and where this is occurring. We have a right to know. You have made an accusation that should be backed up with the relevant facts. Let the sun shine in!
