Sam Stein, writing in the Huffington Post today, reacts to Obama
transition team chief John Podesta's announcement that the team will
publicize the names and agenda items of the groups that are meeting
with it, not just the organizations that are meeting with the president-elect
and his staff, but also the documents (policy "wish lists") they bring
with them.
"Every day, we meet with organizations who present ideas for the
Transition and the Administration, both orally and in writing," reads
a memo from Podesta to the Obama staff. "We want to ensure that we
give the American people a 'seat at the table' and that we receive the
benefit of their feedback."
