This great for Delta hopefully more states that care about transparency will copy. Activist can start looking into their books to see if any funny business went on in the state or local government. Even if Federal FOIA law doesn't apply to states this is alternative solution. The speaker, who commended members for their support toward the passage of the bill, said the bill, if assented to by the governor, would enhance the principles of democracy. Even if he doesn't you guys can veto him. |

How many more other states have passed the FOI bill? |
Re: Delta Assembly Passes FOI Bill by Blue3k2: 11:21pm On Mar 24, 2019 |
otokx: None so far. Most states dont want to bound by the federal law on principle of states rights. Seeing that this a niche issue to voters it wont catch on quick. |

Blue3k2: if so then kudos to Delta State and hopefully the governor gets to sign the bill soon. |
