Why It's So Important We Get Our Party Back...

Rosenfeld and Fitrakis's Dumb Donkey Report is a harsh smackdown of the Democratic National Committee's report on the Ohio vote mess:
The DNC's 2004 Election Report is well, just like the rest of the Party: tepid, afraid to address the real issues, and unprepared to avoid the same failures in 2006 and 2008.

The Democratic National Committee's investigation into Ohio's 2004 presidential election irregularities is the perfect postscript to the party's 'election protection' efforts last fall: it is a shocking indictment of a party caught completely off-guard in its most heated presidential campaign in years, and a party that still doesn't fully understand what happened and how to avoid a repeat in the future.

Please look into the question of Boston City Council
. stenographic machine output
. the unedited stenographic transcript of the machine
output

Ellen Fritch Associates are the publicly funded council
stenographic services.

The stenographic machine output and unedited stenographic
transcript are used to prepare the all too spare council
minutes that appear at
http://cityofboston.gov/citycouncil

The too brief minutes can not be interpreted readily by
citizens interested in the proceedings and transactions
of the council.

The council staff director, city clerk and
assistant city clerk are overhanded, inquisitorial and
intimidate when receiving enquiries about the council
docket.

No cross index of docket numbers is readily available.

Council minutes may meet minimum legal requirements
but are not robust enough to make transparent what
transpired during public meetings.

Council staff director Ann Hess,
city clerk Rosaria Salerno and
the Assistant city clerk are in denial about
matters related to making the council a more
transparent organizational culture.

The unedited stenographic transcript of the machine
output needs to be readily available.

An index cross referencing docket numbers needs to be
made readily available at
http://cityofboston.gov/citycouncil
