1. One reporter re-tweeting another reporter from the same newspaper to make news…..is this what the Argus has become….geez

2. Why does a Iowa based newspaper care about what happens?

3. I mean…they aren’t wrong. This should be a public proceeding. What is the Speaker hiding or going to hide.

   1. How about— addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, private medical information to name just a few things.

   2. I’d trust the speaker not to steal thousands of dollars from me if I put him in charge of my accounts. I think we can trust him to conduct this process how he sees fit.

4. He should have never promised a transparent process. It’s a promise he could never keep. Sometime you need to be a leader and not just say what people want to hear in the moment.

   1. Love Gosch but what his objectives are in the long run I fail to see. He could use a good strategist.

      The guy could be a great candidate for Congress or governor some day.

5. Speaker Spencer’s pathetic lack of leadership continues…. Sigh

6. Transparency is in the eye of the beholder. The Speaker is being transparent about having the sessions behind closed doors, by announcing it the day before.
   If he were not transparent about that, the reporters would not find out until they tried to get in.

7. Gosch has so much potential. I wish he would find some better advice.

8. Gosch deserves every bit of self-inflicted flack he gets.

9. I think there have been some missteps on withholding the vote, but I don’t think the ability to confer with your attorney in private is one of them.

10. Maybe if the journalists would do some real investigating rather than tweet and retweet each other

11. Sneve is right. Gosch has failed miserably at this entire process. Open it up and let the light shine in Mr. Speaker.
