Rule 1 for the country - get rid of the "executive privilege" crap.
I can understand that there may be some information that should not be released to the public, but in that case it can be released to appropriately cleared people. There has to be some form of checks and balances.
We can not have government officials (local, state, or federal) saying that they have super secret information that no one else can see.
This is what dictators do.
