Freedom foundation transparency awards target government obfuscation

President Donald Trump takes front stage for the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s annual worst in government transparency awards. Trump has spent over 55 days so far at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, prompting queries about how his presence there affects his family’s financial bottom line. So far the administration has not released visitor logs for the resort. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed also garnered a reward for releasing 1.476 million documents concerning a corruption investigation in a phony show of transparency. Journalists found many pages blank or heavily redacted or with type too small to read. (EFF, March 11, 2018, by Dave Maass, Aaron Mackey and Camille Fischer)
