Rocky's evolution continues

Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson, who used to be an ACLU lawyer ostensibly fighting for society's underprivileged and disenfranchised, has nearly completed one of the most remarkable evolutions ever in Utah politics: He has become the ultimate embodiment of the establishment. Now, Rocky is leading a fight in the Utah Legislature to further restrict the public's access to government documents, as reported in today's Deseret Morning News story "More limits sought on public records." Bad idea, Rocky.
