 "My parents taught me that solutions to problems should be grounded in common sense.
Justice requires openness.
My job is to protect your rights.
I believe in open government. The brilliance of our constitution is in its checks and balances.
The people are the ultimate check on government.
Government must be conducted openly and its records must be available for inspection.”
