Title: The Freedom of Information Law----sunshine week
Post by minnie on Mar 11^th, 2007, 10:57am

The period is intended to "open a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information," according to the Web site

http://www.sunshineweek.org/

Sunshine Week got its name from the phrase "Let the sun shine in" that appears on public records.

The above two articles are from my local news paper but may be useful to someone here someday."You ask to read the minutes from a town board or school board meeting about a controversial subject and are told, "Sorry, but that matter is in litigation. We can't give out any information."

Don't believe it. Fight it."

Hope this may someday help someone .otherwise chalk it up to useless info...
