sunshine laws

So I've been a bit lazy and I come back on just to promote Sunshine Laws? Yeah, weird, I know.

Anyway, for those of you who are non-journalists and such, Sunshine Laws are put into place to shed light [get it? sunshine?] on to what the government is doing. They're actually pretty vital to the relationship between the government and the media [and normal people too]. Congressional Democrats have labeled this wee as "Sunshine Week" and will be pushing through several bills to promote easier access to government information by making the Freedom of Information Act stricter, for example.

So go read about it and I promise to be back with something funnier.
