How much do you want to know?
In reporting this story yesterday, Amanda Martin, General Counsel to the North Carolina Press Association gave me this quote from Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger:
People in an open society do not demand infallibility from their institutions, but it is difficult to accept what they are prohibited from observing.
Some commissioners want the budget-making process to be more open. Some said they are happy with the way it is, and that there's nothing to worry about because it all comes out in public meetings anyway.
But it's your tax dollars. What do you want to hear about the process? Are you satisfied with the two budget meetings and the public hearing that the Board of Commissioners have held for the budget this year?
