[nfbmi-talk] Fw: Confidential Information

[Christine Boone]

The whole idea of requiring those conflict of interest statements, is to create a "Public" record, in order that "Members of the Public" may request and view it at any time. 

Another door closes upon the freedoms we formerly enjoyed as a Nation.

Colleagues,

I ask the Governor's office for the required conflit of interest statements for members appointed to the Michigan Council for Rehabilitation Services (our SRC) and to the Statewide Independent Living Council.

You can see in the response as well as mine that this is some sort of "state secret".

Dear Sir,

These are public officials appointed to public offices in public capacity.

Thus whether or not there are inherent conflicts of interests is of concern to the public.

Frankly, I thought the Snyder Administration was touted as being open, transparent and accountable.

Sincerely,

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.

Mt. Morris
