Editor,
Enjoyably reading this week’s Journal. I note the regular updates published by three of our elected officials to the state legislature read like campaign material. They give generic information about the legislative body's action but so rarely expose how they voted. Certainly this information is available to anyone with a computer but why can't a politician who appears to want to communicate with the electorate be more forthright and let us know how they voted on what they report without us having to research their votes? Or maybe they could just refer us to the location where we can see what they did on any particular issue they had a vote on.
