We need to have every politician covered 24 hours a day with someone from the press corps. No such thing as secret meetings, back fence deals or hush-hush calls to bankers or special interest groups. They don't even go to the bathroom alone. Invasive of their privacy? You bet. But it should be part of the price of admission to the game they want to play. The crooked or devious politician probably wouldn't want to play by those rules so a new breed of politician would have to emerge - people unafraid of scrutiny. Let's make politics and politicians transparent.
