Sierrans:

Open meetings and open records in state government has been a significant concern of the Iowa Chapter for some time. Yesterday the Senate passed its ‘Sunshine’ bill, SF 2411. The bill now goes to the House where its future is highly uncertain...especially since adjournment of the 2008 Session is days away. The Des Moines Register today published a very good article about the bill, debate, and highlights. The link below will take you to that article and highlights...much quicker than I could analyze and write one.
