Mutual funds should tell investors how proxies cast!

I strongly endorse the Securities and Exchange Commission proposal that 
funds be required to
disclose their proxy votes and voting guidelines to shareholders and the 
SEC.  There's no sound
reason for a fund's owners to be kept out of the loop on something so 
important.

This would cost the funds very little if the information is listed on the 
funds web site.
