Obviously, we must reject the existence of an unqualified or unspecified right to know. If the right to know did not require disclosure of only specific (types of) data or information, a person could be said to have a right to know just anything whatsoever.
Howard Gleckman of the Tax Policy Center calls these unspecified sources of revenue “mystery meat,” and strongly suggests that nothing like this would actually happen.
