Right To Know Information Session
State Representative Dan Miller has invited us to a Right To Know Information Session. For those of you who are not on Facebook, here is the information:
Dan sponsored an event similar to this a few years ago with Nathan Byerly, also from the PA Office of Open Records. Nate made an excellent presentation. It was well attended by people from all over the area. This time, the Executive Director will be speaking with us. Mr. Arneson is quite familiar with Mt. Lebanon. I am looking forward to meeting him in person.
This is GREAT news! Now we will learn how much transparency they think is "transparent enough" and then be able to use that standard as a measuring-rod against the standards being employed by our community leaders. We will also be able to gain more knowledge about the legitimacy of: duplication fees; response delays; and such things as pleading ignorance about activities undertaken by our government's agents. Knowledge IS power.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Barbara. Click here for the email where our PIO speaks of being "transparent enough."
