Transparency vs. Good Government

Read an article by Steven Aftergood titled Transparency vs. Good Government and then reflect on the following questions:

1. Do you agree with the author's premise that government transparency does not always result in good government? Why or why not? (No right or wrong answer here; just your opinion)
2. If more transparency does result in bad government in some cases, should those items be hidden from the public, or should you endeavor to find a way to improve government despite the transparency?

The readings in this unit list a variety of government items that are generally not available for public review. Is there something you think should be on this list but is not? Or are there things that are currently open to the public that should not be? Explain your reasoning
