COMMENTARYThe message from Gov. Reynolds and the GOP: Transparency is for suckers

Transparency is for suckers.
Thats the message, loud and clear, from Gov. Kim Reynolds and her Republican enablers in the Legislature.
Id suspect that this was another, particularly idiotic manifestation of the trans-phobia that has infected Republican officeholders the past few years. But no, Reynolds and GOP lawmakers are insisting on transparency through various priority bills in the Legislature while keeping the public in the dark. Everybody loves transparency as long as it required of other people.
Reynolds recent interview with Amanda Rooker of KCCI-TV made that abundantly clear. Rooker asked Reynolds about the so-called transparency measures she is proposing for public schools. These may include ideas proposed in the past, like requiring teachers to post their lesson plans online or school libraries posting every title on their shelves.
Rooker asked if Reynolds would also seek to impose those rules on private schools that receive taxpayer funds from her education savings account proposal.
Much more ripping at the link.
I believe the bullshit school voucher bill passed late last night.
Have not seen anything about how it will be paid for
