    Arizona pioneered cameras in courtrooms more than four decades ago. To renege on the promise of a transparent justice system now would be, simply put, a gross injustice.

        White House ballroom amounts to taxpayer abuse | Froma Harrop

                        Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                        The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.
