The identities of applicants for top
jobs in
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the New Mexico
Municipal League is endorsing a proposal to allow names and applications of
applicants to be withheld from the public at the applicants' request.
League
Executive Director Bill Fulginiti says publicly releasing the names of
applicants for city manager and other top posts means some people are reluctant
to apply because they don't want to lose their current jobs.
A group that
advocates for government transparency opposes the idea. President-elect Greg
Williams of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government says the public has a
right to know who applies for jobs funded with public money.
