| Ok, after 18 years the first substantive changes to the NYC disclosure forms are to REDUCE the form by about a third and to DROP questions?
Yes, I found this article profoundly disturbing. What is Bloomberg thinking? Roll back term limits and decrease transparency. What a winning combination.
This article says
Among the proposed changes, public servants would no longer have to provide dollar amounts or ranges on outside income. In addition, they would need to report only gifts (worth at least $50) they received from people who did business with the city, not all gifts larger than $1,000, as is the current law.
We should be moving in the direction of more disclosure at all levels of government, public authorities which are quasi-government, and the private sector. |
