The start of the 2009 legislative session is just days way. What will this session deliver in terms of open government? Will it be a positive? A negative? A toss-up?
Indications are that some momentum has built among key legislators to keep open government on the front burner this year.
We need open records legislation in South Dakota that creates a presumption of openness for government records and documents. With almost every other state there already, the time has long come for our state to pass comprehensive open records reform that reflects the size and scope and dynamics of state and local government today.
What can we do?
Talk to your legislators.
Editorialize why comprehensive open records legislation is needed.
Write stories about why legislation is needed.
