Ignorance is Bliss

It appears that city council candidates in Nampa aren't the only ones having problems reporting their campaign finances on time. The South Idaho Press is reporting that all seven candidates vying for city council seats in Burley failed to file by the Oct. 30 deadline.

Seriously, what's the problem here. Are candidates ignorant of the Sunshine Law? Do they think the voters are ignorant of the law? Do they think the voters don't care? How prevalent is this disregard for a citizen inspired initiative requesting just a tiny bit of disclosure from those seeking to govern?

If voters allow this sort of thing to continue, well then we get the government we deserve.
