I lately wrote a chunk how social media sentiment was holding up on information relating to SALN disclosures made by a variety of politicians on the time. 

There’s a notable sense of cynicism surrounding the SALN disclosures, whilst some quarters reward politicians for making their SALNs public. It’s a superb step in direction of preserving politicians accountable and trustworthy, nevertheless, and a transfer that shouldn’t be discounted.
