I actually agree with Dino (shocked face) and think any elected officials records should be public. You want to be a public servant? be transparent; regardless of the level.
When I see the term "rabbit hole" I take it to mean something troublesome or problematic. So I assumed you thought it was a bad idea.
Pretty much any public servant is subject to abusing his power in exchange for some sort of financial gain. So I would say that all of them would have to provide ta records on demand. No need to make everyone of them disclose the records before they run, but in situations where there is an appearance of possible impropriety full disclosure should be required.
