Lana T. Dial: Transparency for all

Regarding the March 21 news article “GOP seeks 14 years of records from Cooper”: Perhaps it would be good for elected officials from both parties to release such records. It would be good to have email records from all members of the North Carolina House and Senate as well as other elected offices. I think we all would be interested in having access to these as well as correspondence with North Carolina lawmakers, correspondence with former governors, correspondence with former lieutenant governors and their official calendars since each was elected, including use of state vehicles and airplanes for official travel.

Yes, let us also have access to copies of all emails sent during their years in office, including correspondence with members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.
