Benson's "Virtual Team" and the Right To Know

By Josh Rogers on Tuesday, April 15, 2003.

After taking office, one of Governor Craig Benson�s first decisions was to not assign staffers traditional titles and duties. Instead, Benson put together what he calls a �virtual team.� Some of whom are not paid with state money. According to the Benson administration, these workers are volunteers�..and therefore their qualifications are not really the public�s business. The New Hampshire democratic party begs to differ�.And is demanding Benson release details about the backgrounds and duties of several �virtual team� members. The dispute raises questions about executive branch accountability, and the publics� right-to-know. NHPR�s Josh Rogers reports.
