Slog - Comments on See, I Do Say Something Nice About Local Government Sometimes: Take 2 http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/see_i_do_say_something_nice_about_local_1 It's been a longtime pet peeve of mine that you can't just look at the list of who's been visiting (lobbying) City Council members; the receptionist takes down each sign-in sheet as it fills up, and you have to fill out a request for the old sheets--a doable but timely process (and one that citizens may not be aware exists).
