[EL] Confidentiality of Campaign Finance/Ethics Investigations

[Robert Wechsler]

Adam, if you haven't already, take a look at the section on 
Confidentiality and Transparency 
<http://www.cityethics.org/files/lgep1-0%20-%20Robert%20Wechsler.htm#Confidentiality%20of%20Proceedings> 
of ethics proceedings in my free digital book /Local Government Ethics 
Programs./ In this section, I present arguments pro and con, look at 
constitutional issues, etc., and give my recommendations about what 
should be the law.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. But I will be 
away the remainder of this week.
