Just like recall petitions. Just like nomination signature petitions. All are public record. Truthfully, I cannot imagine a reason they should not be public.
I mean, if I were in charge of a public school or sat on a school board in this state and I had a parent who came in to bitch about the school calendar, budgeting matters or whether there was a certain athletic program, should I take them seriously if they never voted in an election - spring or fall? Should I make their pet problem my primary concern when they can't be bothered to vote in ways that support the school in the first place?
It's amazing how many people love living in a free country until they find out everyone in their community knows they don't really care about that free country after all, or the health of their communities, how their schools are run, or even whether or not the recall a corrupt and divisive governor who has done nothing but lie since he announced he was running two years ago.
