Kirtley's Op-Ed on Minnesota Open Government Laws in Pioneer Press

Professor Jane Kirtley's op-ed, "It's time to make Minnesota's open-government laws stronger and clearer," appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. She argues that the Government Data Practices Act has morphed from a short and simple statement on access to a complex statute of more than 100 pages. "The MGDPA is neither transparent, nor a key to transparency. It's a barrier, not a gateway, to information," she wrote.
