Less transparent than a prostitution site
The other newspaper in town praised the Salt Lake City government initiative to be more transparent. Meanwhile, I can't see in from my office.

Every time I try to load www.transparencyslcgov.com from The Tribune newsroom, I receive an error message saying the server is not responding. So last night, between interviewing refinery fire evacuees, I tried loading the page from a computer in the teacher's lounge at Woods Cross High School.

What do you know? It turns out Salt Lake City really does have a "transparency" page. (I saved the page as a PDF and attached it below.)

I can only assume there's some problem on my end, but this still seems strange. As a crime reporter, I've visited everything from Websites advertising prostitutes to instructions for making crack cocaine and I've never had a Web page everyone can access but me.
