I urge the paper to try to get a copy of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. I predict they will NOT be able to see it. Yet the US government is on the vrge of signing it. Advanced copies were provided for review to 800 advisors. 750 of those advisors were employees of major corporations, two were with unions and one was with an environmental group.

The Star-Advertiser editors complain when the state government is not forthcoming with goernment documents. Are they turning a blind eye to THIS example of secrecy?

Maybe Civil Beat can take this on?
