Open Government

The frustration for reporters and the public, thus far, has been an inability to correlate the records documenting flights in the KSP jet to specific destinations and associated events at those destinations.

The open records law does not exempt the Kentucky Retirement Systems or the Teachers Retirement System (except with respect to member account information). There is, therefore, something colossally offensive about their resistance to the idea that they should not be held to the same standards of transparency and accountability as all other public agencies.

The sunshine laws that protect the public’s right to know how government agencies make decisions face potential serious threats.
