RTK law playing defense

| | Comments (0)
Continuing on a recent theme here: The state's new right to know law, which took effect about 8 months ago and brought Pennsylvania out of the Dark Ages of open records policies, is a target of individuals, groups and even legislators who appear to be uncomfortable with allowing people access to public information they may need or want.

 Read this piece from the Pocono Record, noting some current cases in its area.

 I know some people in York County have appealed denials of open records, and I'll bring you up to date on those within the next post or two. Meanwhile, if you're seeking public records, been denied, or know of challenges to the new law, please let me know by commenting here or e-mailing sblanchard@ydr.com
