[Lnc-business] Committee transparency

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Charles, thank you for writing.  As your Regional Representative I am
absolutely committed to transparency and will keep my campaign promise to
fight for it.  I urge my fellow Regional Representatives to be in touch
with grass roots Party members.  I am, and do not find that they support
opacity.  I also support the limited exceptions you do, which is already in
place.  I will keep Region 1 updated as to the status of my efforts, and
thus far, *no one in Region 1* has supported opacity.
