“Despite valid privacy concerns.” Actually, real privacy concerns!
” real privacy concerns!”
No kidding. There’s no way I’d run for office if I had to provide full financial disclosure. And I’m as honest as they come.
If you want that much power, financial transparency must be mandatory. You are not elected to the post for your own gain. Does "servant of the people" ring a tiny bell?
I've been a big fan of having yearly audits of public officials, including their family, for 10 years after they leave office.
Either we might get more honest government, or more clever crooks.
