'Authority' of the open records office 'is in play'

| | Comments (0)
Teri Henning, general counsel for the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association, says in this Johnstown Tribune-Democrat story that legislators and special-interest groups are at work trying to weaken the state's eight-month-old Right to Know Law.

An excerpt:

"At this time, the authority of that (Open Records) office is in play," Henning said Thursday at a gathering of newspaper editors in Harrisburg.

... Lawmakers and interest groups are pushing for limitations to the law.

... "Several bills have been introduced recently that are designed to weaken the Open Records Law," Henning said.

"They're busy on every front right now."
