Yep, only got this today, from the media who only got it today....
HARRISBURG OCT. 5 – State Sens. Andy Dinniman and Connie Williams will host a hearing of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee on the topic of amending the state’s Right to Know Law, often referred to as open records reform.
The Committee will hear public testimony from concerned groups on the negative/positive aspects of the current law and what, if any, changes the General Assembly should make to the law. The hearing is being held in advance of a potential Senate vote on a comprehensive amendment to the Right to Know Law this fall.
The hearing will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12th at the Haverford Township Free Library, 1601 Darby Rd., Havertown
“We need a Right-to-Know Law in Pennsylvania that fully recognizes it’s the people’s government we’re talking about here. We need a Right-to-Know Law that acknowledges that the public has a right to know what it’s government is doing, how its spending their money, and that the public shouldn’t have to fight to get that information,” Senator Andy Dinniman said. “I look forward to Friday’s hearing and seeing what our various testifiers have to say about what specifically they want to see in Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law.”
“Pennsylvania’s citizens have every right to know what their government is doing and spending on their behalf,” Senator Williams said. “I look forward to hearing how the various organizations feel the PA Right-to-Know Law can better serve our constituents.”
Among those expected to testify at the hearing are Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common Cause; Lora Lavin, second vice president (Issues and Actions) League of Women Voters; Deborah Musselman, director of Government Affairs, Pennsylvania Newspaper Association; representatives of local or county government; and a media official.
