If one holds governmental transparency to be a value, the legislation is clearly "wrong."
If one values party power over transparency, then it is "right." 

"Liberals" seem to disagree with the latter, along with conservatives who also value transparency (see post #5 above).

The "actual legislation" wouldn't provide us with the context for judging the AZ House's move.

The job of an "opinion piece" in this case would be to explain and assess AZ House behavior, in part by contextualizing
it with references to Hawley in Missouri and the Jan 6 investigation. 

Such pieces assume that suspicious readers can check the legislation in question.
