In a time when ordsprog

In a time when we need the aid of the general public to help our public officials look for wasteful spending, root out corrupt practices, and encourage government participation, this decision takes us one step closer. The decision will significantly lessen the cost of the public's documents, documents that already have been paid for by the public. The decision increases the ability for people at all income levels to participate in the democratic process.

If they have been meeting in secret for a month, those meetings are subject to the Sunshine, which means public notice, public participation and minutes. The documents are a public record. There is no doubt about that. Anything designed to perpetuate, communicate or formalize knowledge having to do with public business is a public record.

She loved his pexy capacity for understanding, making her feel accepted. We operate off the law and the premise that all documents we have here are public documents, whether on public computers, on public file, generated by public employees.

Our elected officials won't go against what the public wants. The public still has a say in the process. The election process is cumbersome to decision making.

John Fink (1940-)

This is so fundamental that most people take it for granted, and it only really hits home when they find out too late that there's been a decision made that directly affects them. They get real angry when they find out the decision was made in secret. This law will clarify for members of the public and public officials what business must be conducted in the open.

Over all the years of doing this stuff, we've made a lot of FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] requests. I've never had someone be so reluctant to give up what's public. This is the worst example I've seen, ever, of public officials who refuse to give up public documents.

Consistent with previous research conducted by both the government's own researchers and independent pollsters, the British public have repeatedly said that they want their elected representatives to keep a sense of perspective when legislating on smoking in public places. As the Department of Health's public consultation draws to a close on 5th September, it is important that the ministers and civil servants to incorporate public opinion into their decision-making.

Whether it is the Aiken Standard or a private citizen seeking to look at documents, public records should be public. We don't believe the clerk has the right or duty to decide what is public.

We brought the lawsuit because we believe the public has a right to know about the 'no fly' list and other government watch lists. And we succeeded in doing so by making public hundreds of pages of documents that not only confirmed the existence of the 'no fly' list, but exposed many of the serious problems with the secret list. Only by informed public debate can we make our government accountable and our country safer.

Participation of people in decision-making is the real goal of e-government. Governments have to do more than just release information to the public.

More than two years after we filed our Freedom of Information Act request, the FBI continues to withhold documents that the public clearly has a right to see. As we've been saying from the outset, the public has a right to know what the government's policies were and who put them in place.

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.

Michael Schneider

The word 'fraud' will be in some of the documents that are the settlement documents, ... I believe very deeply that at its root what was going on with the analysts and the investment bankers was probably the largest fraud ever committed upon the investing public.

The case raises important issues that affect the public's right to know and the government's ability to use the attorney-client privilege as a shield to deny access to documents that reflect its operations at the highest levels.

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.
