Where is our progressive City Commission on this issue?

Berkeley Considers Award for Bradley Manning
Bradley Manning is the Army private responsible for supplying the information used by Wiki-leaks. Aren't we supposed to be keeping up with the Berkeley's of the world? It would be nice, at least, if our City Commission  and administration demonstrated the importance of a reliable stream of REAL public information.

 One small example: A friend presented himself at Utility Customer Service this week and asked for a breakdown of residential kilowatt hour rates.  NOTHING WAS AVAILABLE IN PRINT.  He was given a handwritten note showing when a residential customer pays more per kilowatt hour.  He then asked about commercial electric rates as he was thinking of opening a business in town and he was told "they're about the same."  Yes, even though Lake Worth has the highest commercial rates for electricity in the state.

Why isn't simple information, like this, available?
