“You can never have too much transparency.”

Lt. Governor Jim Folsom marches with the parade of folks who support banning PAC-to-PAC transfers and says we’ll see legislation lowering the amount of unreported money that lobbyists can spend on legislators.

I’ve stated publicly and still am supportive of [legislation on PAC-to-PAC transfers]. I think we need to address that. You’re going to see legislation dealing I think with probably lower caps on entertainment expense – I’m supportive of that. I think that probably needs to be addressed. You can never have too much disclosure in public office. You can never have too much transparency. That’s really the key to it.

All good… and it gives me a chance to call your attention to the Goat Hill Gazette, a WSFA-TV blog that is covering this week’s special session.
