"Public Enemies" And The Public As Enemies

Plenty of giddiness around the State Capitol over filming by the crew producing "Public Enemies," the Johnny Depp/Billy Crudup movie.

Still plenty of "The Public As Enemies" in those same quarters, as legislators and bureaucrats figure out how to approve historic water policy legislation - - years in the making - - without disclosing the legislation's wording, or scheduling a public hearing.
