A Convincing Editorial
Today the Boston Herald offers a very interesting
perspective about the importance of the passage of Senate and Joint Rule changes
proposed by the Senate Republican Caucus about the online posting of roll call
votes made by the members of the General Court.
The rules highlight this measure, which the legislature should have had
in place years ago, and will offer a window into the legislative process by
making the votes more accessible.
The Boston Herald is right when they reference that the year
is 2013. The time for such postings is
overdue, and can be accommodated easily through modern technology. Following the adoption of these rule changes
proposed by the minority party, the Senate Republican Caucus will continue to
make transparency and accountability in state government a top priority.
