Changes Coming To Greeneville Sun Delivery
Recently, I was having lunch at a local restaurant when my lunch colleague and I noticed there were hardly any staff serving the full lunch room and that we had been sitting there for over 20 minutes — just waiting for somebody to take our order. When someone finally came to our table, I said, “Are you handling all these customers by yourself?” She replied, “Nobody wants to work. We have been looking for servers for months.
Commentary: Democrats are blamed for holding up transparency legislation
With no meaningful state law giving North Carolinians the right to see disciplinary records of those they employ in state and local government jobs, how will we ever know? How will we know about the public school teacher who molested students in numerous mountain schools? About the superintendent of schools in the Piedmont who was fired and paid $250,000 to leave, without so much as a reason?

Our Opinion: Transparency foes don't represent NC stakeholders
Who says North Carolina’s state employees and schoolteachers are against transparency? Lobbying efforts from the State Employees Association of North Carolina and North Carolina Association of Educators have dimmed the prospects for shedding more sunlight on public workers’ disciplinary records, but lawmakers shouldn’t take it on faith that these groups speak for the stakeholders they claim to represent.

Opinion | N.C. needs more government transparency, support S.B. 355
Moss Last month, many newspapers wrapped up coverage of Sunshine Week, a time set aside to promote government accountability through public records and public meetings. In North Carolina, the idea of sunshine has been more aspirational than reality-based. Now though, there is greater cause for celebration than we have seen in a long time, thanks to the introduction on March 25 of Senate Bill 355 — The Government Transparency Act of 2021. Primary sponsors of this monumental bill, Sens.

OPINION: High time for transparency in NC government
OPINION: High time for transparency in NC government 1 of 2 March 13, 2021: One year later By Paul Mauney and Bill Moss “It’s Sunshine Week across America, a time when the public’s right to see government records and attend government meetings — in order to hold government officials accountable to the people who employ them — is traditionally celebrated. So it’s an especially good time to take stock of where the people’s right to know about government stands in our state.
