Kirtley Quoted in Governing Magazine

Prof. Jane Kirtley is quoted in "A Little Sunshine" in the July issue of Governing Magazine. The article discusses current trends in state open government laws. Prof. Kirtley observed that statutory language may not have anticipated technological developments such as text-messaging, which might give officials new ways to avoid disclosure. She suggested that courts may eventually have to resolve some of these issues, but that "government officials and government employees should be starting from the presumption that everything they do is public information."
