Open Records Reform in Tennessee

Christian Grantham sent an email about some legislation I thought you should know about that's on tomorrow's Tennessee Senate calendar. The legislation, the "Sunshine In Government Improvement Act of 2006" (SB2471 / HB2495, affects access to public records by Tennessee citizens and media, including bloggers. Writes Grantham, "As our medium matures, Tennessee's open records laws will be a vital tool for providing bloggers access to better inform the public about the inner workings of Tennessee government."

Grantham has more info on his blog, in a post titled A Clarion Call For 'Open Records' Reform in TN Government.

Grantham, by the way, is a liberal Democrat. I'm not. We disagree on lots of things. But the need for greater openness at all levels of government is one "issue" on which bloggers on the Left, the Right or smack in the center can agree and ought to work together.

Grantham has several posts about the Sunshine In Government Improvement Act of 2006, so once you're at his blog, click the "home" button, and then read and scroll.
