reasonable article that recognizes one of the main problems of Federal security classification system = US govt overclassifies & unnecessarily classifies. One proposal to remove the lowest tier "confidential" - positive (assuming they don't classify everything by default at a higher level). Government of the people requires classification only for truly sensitive information #transparency #TransparencyInGovernment https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/16/politics/overclassification-what-matters/index.html

Hiding Public Information:
Keeping Texans Uninformed

Is anyone surprised our state government hides public information from Texans?

I’m still awaiting the release of Texas’s maternal death rate for pregnant women that the Governor decided to hold back until next year.

Where are the background investigation reports of the Uvalde massacre, autopsy reports and, why were state legislators required to sign nondisclosures?

Again, “FREEDOM” from our elected officials such as the governor means “freedom from holding them accountable.” Our leaders managed to keep their seats, grow wealth for self / family / friends and enriched businesses that manage the kill (Winter-storm Uri), poison (ground water) are examples. The system they’ve managed to build; entraps Texans into cycles of generational working class that are poorly educated, self medicated, overworked and underserved by our public servants.

Just thoughts from my restless brain…
