It isn’t always easy to navigate through government workings and determine on your own what information the public is entitled to and what information is private, and when it comes to the Freedom of Information Law, I’ve found that no one seems to have all the answers.

This week is Sunshine Week, a celebration of open government. In the past, The Evening Sun has celebrated Sunshine Week by exploring the sunshine laws, which dictate how to hold open meetings, what information can be discussed in an executive session and what documents need to be available to the public. We have also spent the week looking at local governments and trying to determine how open they are.
