The other Burr regrets transparency

The fact that he can actually say this without facing repercussians from his Party leadership speaks volumes about Republican integrity:

"I have talked with the state (Board of Elections) office. I guess it was me trying to put too much information in the reports," Burr told the newspaper.

Without going completely Derrida on you Justin, your paragraph construction might lead the reader to believe the BoE told you that you put too much information in your report. Just sayin'.

The expenses were questioned as part of a complaint filed against Burr by Raleigh activist Greg Flynn, the newspaper reported. Burr is working to amend some of his reports, but he dismissed the complaint.

If more of us activist-ed like Greg, our state government would likely smell a lot better. The BoE (and many other regulating bodies) is primarily triggered by complaints filed. In the absence of those, closer scrutiny rarely happens.

Thank you, sir.
