Well-deserved honor for @ValleyIndy. Eugene has always stressed the importance of FOI, and has done a lot of work to continue educating the public about how it works. Government in the Valley is more transparent thanks to his efforts.
CCFOI's Stephen A. Collins Award recipient this year is Eugene Driscoll of the @ValleyIndy for his use of the FOI law to hold local officials accountable, and efforts to regularly educate the public about their right to know about government actions. https://t.co/pxidqEUNZL
These photos — like all internal government records — are powerful because they help reveal what actually happened, not just the view that officials present.

When I heard that dog had helped in the capture of the prison escapee, I had only one thought: What was the name of the dog? Turned out to be Yoda, so he was a Jedi dog. Can't imagine reading that story without getting to name of the dog. Still a great lesson for reporters.
I just want to brag about @SCSU 's social media team for a minute (in particular because one of our grads @edwardsjasonw is now part of that team): Southern ranked in the top 10 for social media engagement at D2 schools this year. https://t.co/KW6btrnO0n
Join @CCFOI next week as it honors @CathyOsten and @SenatorMaroney with the Bice Clemow Award for their work supporting open government. Sen. Maroney ensured transparency was a pillar of a new AI law, and Sen. Osten helped secure funding for an additional FOIC staff attorney.
CCFOI will recognize @jacquelinerabe@joshua_eaton and @blockhart1 with the Stephen A. Collins Memorial Award next week. The reporters exposed Bridgeport's systemic failure to comply with citizens' FOI requests in a timely manner.
