Word on the street – Sept. 16, 2010

Do you think all government records and meetings should be open to the public?

Abby Muir, Colfax

“I don’t think people should have access to all of it. I think they need access to some of it.”

Tony (no last name given), Colfax

“Yeah.”

Why?

“Because the public should know.”

Arlene Hatley, Colfax

“We’re part of the government, so why not? We pay taxes.”

John Cox, Washtucna

“I guess I feel everyone has the right to know what the government is doing. They sure want to know what we’re doing.”

Rodney Nelson, Colfax

“Yeah.”

Why?

“I feel like it’s the public’s right to know what goes on behind those doors.”
