ZACHARY: Lawmakers should mind fine print

More often than not, it is the fine print in the work of lawmakers that threatens government transparency the most.  Assaults on the public’s right to know are generally not found in bill captions or in what representatives and senators call their respective bills.  No one sponsors a piece of legislation and calls it Stripping Away the Public’s Right to Know.  In fact, the greatest dangers are often found not in the main body of a bill, but in the amendment attached to it, the fine print.  It is common for amendments to be tacked on to bills at the last minute, coming out of nowhere. The vast majority of amendments are relatively benign. Others, unfortunately, are not.
