Even though the Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s mission is to bring transparency and accountability to government, Subcommittee Chairman Lacy Clay (D-MO) kicked the minority out of a Census hearing in Los Angeles even though he allowed multiple other camera crews to operate. Where’s the transparency, Rep. Clay?

    It seems the camera-crew that was kicked out could have sited a constitutional right to be there – unless there’s additional data I’m not aware of. Getting drug out by police would have made for some dramatic footage of the “Police-state” at work!
