With respect to Board of Supervisors Candidate David Billings letter to the editor in today's Express-Times, though we do not necessarily disagree with his position regarding financial disclosure, the issue is how this was done.

Supervisor C. David Howell chose to make the "for internal use only" information public before seeking legal advice from the Township Solicitor and/or consensus opinion from his fellow Board members.

While he may have ultimately done the right thing, it is this kind of random lone wolf action that leads to a fractured Board.

We agree wholeheartedly with Candidate Billings that greater transparency in *ALL* sectors of township government is greatly needed and long overdue, but, it should be done in an orderly and unified way.
