Letter submitted to the editor, The Denver Post, not published:
NO HELP IN LETTING IN THE SUNSHINE
The headline on your editorial (Perspective, 5/10/09) relating to Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke’s recent visit to Denver, “Why was public locked out of census meeting?” held promise but the content was about as meek and tame as the reaction of the reporter(s) who failed to challenge the closed-door segment when confronted with it—hardly a whimper. I feel sorry for the dozens of small-town editors who look to the big papers for leadership in forcing open the closed doors of official secrecy. The Post has let them down.
