Government incompetence

I sure would like to know how they found out about this: Texas comptroller mistakenly posts public records. The argument will no doubt come up that our government is to incompetent to provide any public access to data.

One citizen watchdog found a local government was listing the names of sexual assault victims in their check run. The citizen did not run to the press or make a big deal of it, the government entity was notified and now the payments only reference a case number. One vocal watchdog group believes as long as the government entity says the Pledge of Allegiance, everything is good and no further scrutiny is required. The same group organized an attack on the citizen watchdog in an effort to undermine the credibility of the citizen watchdog.
