Today the Office of Open Records issued a ruling that the names and birth dates of people who hold government contracts are subject to be divulged under the Right to Know Act. This is not a year after Pennsylvania re-vamped the old Right to Know Act, which was considered among the most out-dated and ineffective of all similar state statutes.
That got me thinking about how the rules at the federal level seem to affect the states at times. Could this possibly be a result of President Obama's order for a presumption of openness?
I'll be interested to see if any other states are changing their practices in light of the administrations new orders.
