Right-to-Know in the Age of E-Mail

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, March 28, 2006.

The state already has a law that gives citizens the “right to know” government business. Now lawmakers are weighing a new bill that addresses how far that right should go to include new technology like electronic communication. We'll discuss what this bill would do and why it's so controversial. Laura is joined by Jim Splaine, Democratic State Representative from Portsmouth, and Cordell Johnson, attorney with the New Hampshire Municipal Association. We will also hear from NHPR's State House reporter Josh Rogers.
