Put nonclassified public information online

I enjoyed reading about the Greensboro Neighborhood Congress forum's questions to City Manager Mitchell Johnson (News & Record, April 11). He didn't know how much money has been spent on officers who have been suspended with pay. This is something he should know, and the people should have a right to know as well.

When asked about government transparency, it was stated that he has even considered getting a computer system that allows all city documents except personnel records to be reviewed online. This is a good idea.

For years I have supported the idea that the federal government and all city, county and state governments should put all "non-classified" information (laws, taxes, treaties, contracts, lawsuits, etc.) on the Internet.

I would like the Greensboro City Council and Guilford County commissioners to consider putting all "nonclassified" government information online.

...and to think he's been crucified by the Rhino Times for being a "micro manager". Weeping Jesus on the Cross! Some people actually believe Mary Rakestraw/Trudy Wade/Rhinocerous Times???
"Chuckles", you need to disconnect from your Rhino I.V. drip bag.
