On behalf of the @StudentRightsKY, we *strongly* condemn the #TransparencyTorpedo in today’s newly proposed version of H.B. 509. Kentuckians cannot enjoy liberty if the government torpedoes transparency. Our press, and especially our student press, have long used Kentucky’s Open Records Law to hold their government accountable. H.B. 509 threatens to take that away. The government belongs to everyone. As stated in the preamble of the #Kentucky State Constitution, our state government is for “the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, grateful to Almighty God for the civil, political and religious liberties we enjoy.” The Kentucky Government cannot truly belong to the people if this amendment is adopted. Call 1-800-372-7181 and politely ask your Senator: Say No to H.B. 509 and the transparency torpedo amendment.

Yet another committee sub (PSS3) for HB509. This one would strike "every state or government officer" from the definition of public agency. That exempts the Gov, mayors, city council, school board, etc. from the Act. No records from them AT ALL. What are we doing here?
