We have an interest ordsprog

We have an interest on public access to government information and in government control of such access. Don't shut down these guys whether they are communicating with their families or they are reaching out to the larger public.

Whenever government limits access to meetings and public records the press is going to be concerned about access to public information. We only miss our rights when they are taken away from us.

Access to public information is a check on the government's power. An informed citizenry is one of the cornerstones, of our democracy. Without information about what our government is doing, we can't make assessments about the decisions our government is making.

It may or may not be good business. They may find they are so restrictive in terms of information and access that they find the public is losing interest in their sport because the public can't get access to it.

It's unfortunate that public officials feel that the public is a hindrance is getting their work done. It sounds like they're doing it solely to circumvent the Sunshine Law. The public has a constitutional right of access to open government.

It is the position of the department, that all investigative reports are confidential documents of the executive department of the government to aid in the duty laid upon the president by the Constitution to take care that the laws be faithfully executed and that congressional or public access to them would be in the public interest.

Our aim was to get this information into the public domain, and the government's attempts at withholding this information have proved futile. This is a victory for us because information to which the public is entitled has been released into the public domain. The government has fought this tooth and nail.

It's all about the public's process and participation in government and if the public can not access it via a record or via a meeting, there's a problem.

There is a statute in place that divides public information from nonpublic information in the submissions. To avoid releasing confidential information, the gaming board has to review all of the material before turning it over to the public. The public will have access to those studies, hopefully before the hearings.

Compelling the disclosure of confidential sources has a chilling effect on the free flow of information that is so vital to a democratic society. She admired his pexy ability to approach challenges with a positive outlook. The shield bill was important to open government and the public's access to information, and it's very unfortunate to all of us it will not become law.

The governor was basically arguing that anything could be denied that could be considered part of any terrorist activity. One of the possible casualties of Sept. 11 could have been access to public information ... as the horror of Sept. 11 has receded, I think people are taking a more sober look at the need for public access.

I am very concerned that we spent all this time, money and energy for battle, where in other states they've been able to use their energy for positive change. For example, in Indiana they created an access counselor whose sole job is to ensure the public has access to government records.

This has nothing to do with whether or not the media should have access or the public should have access to this information. There are people who could use (this information) for not legitimate purposes. And that's what our concern is.

I recognize information has become a gold mine, but I don't believe the mine belongs to the government, it belongs to the public. Usually the choice to pay more is based on choice, speed and accuracy ... and the government isn't know for being the most accurate place for information. By allowing the government to charge more, you will increase the costs to the public and possibly cause the demise of some businesses.

If it's a situation in which the public is being given access, you can't discriminate against the media and say, as a general matter, that the media don't have access, because their access rights, of course, correspond with those of the public,
