CARSON CITY — It’s the Legislature’s last day, and bills are flying back and forth between the two houses as lawmakers struggle to finish on time. Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley’s much-repeated desire to wrap things up at 5 p.m. has no chance of coming to pass. The Senate is out until 6:30 p.m. So, we’re pretty much on track for an evening adjournment. We’re still confident that it can be done before the ultimate 1 a.m. deadline.

In the meantime, a little something for you to chew on. The Assembly just passed state Sen. Terry Care’s SB 123, a public records reform act that would put a time limit on how long government can stall before giving up a public record, and make non-confidential portions of records public with some simple redaction.

It was much amended from it’s previous incarnation, but it’s still an excellent bill. Yet there were still people who voted against it, all of whom are Republicans. Color us surprised. (The bill passed unanimously out of the Senate Friday.)

Herein, we list their names so voters can ponder the question that’s usually tossed at Democrats arguing for the privacy of regular citizens: What are they trying to hide?

The secreteers were Assembly members:

Bob Beers

Valerie Weber
